Benedetto Cavalieri (4 Products)

For many, the best pasta ever comes from Pastificio Benedetto Cavalieri. The pasta company is not just a family business, it is part of our range of pasta makers with a long tradition. Since 1918 when durum wheat farmer Andrea Cavalieri and his son Benedetto decided to produce pasta, Pastificio Benedetto Cavalieri has been producing pasta by hand. Now it's already the fifth generation that is producing top-quality pasta in Puglia - with Italian durum wheat, bronze matrices for the rough surface and plenty of time for slow drying. Cavalieri developed the 'metodo delicato', a special process that consists of four steps. Long kneading of the dough at cool temperatures ensures the typical consistency of the pasta. In the next step, the dough is pressed through bronze matrices very slowly with minimal pressure. In the third step, the pasta is dried at low temperature for at least 24, depending on the size and weight of the pasta, up to 40 hours - which ensures the typical bite. In the last step, the pasta rests in climate rooms for another 24 hours. Good things take time which goes especially for this top-notch pasta!
