Egg pasta is considered special for a few key reasons:⁠
⁠
1. Flavour: Eggs add a richer, more robust flavour to the pasta. The egg yolks in particular contribute a creamy, almost buttery taste.⁠
⁠
2. Texture: The proteins in the eggs help strengthen the gluten structure in the pasta dough, resulting in a silkier, more tender texture when cooked. ⁠
⁠
3. Colour: Eggs give the pasta dough a beautiful, deep golden hue that is visually appealing. This richer colour stands out compared to durum wheat semolina pasta.⁠
⁠
4. Nutritional Benefits: Eggs add nutritional value to the pasta, providing extra protein, vitamins, and minerals.⁠
⁠
5. Tradition and Authenticity: In many regions of Italy, egg-based pasta is considered the traditional, authentic way of making pasta. It’s seen as a mark of quality and craftsmanship.⁠
⁠
6. Versatility: Egg pasta pairs beautifully with a wide variety of sauces and fillings, from rich ragù to delicate butter-and-herb sauces. Its texture and flavour complement many different Italian dishes and are a steady presence in Italian recipe books.⁠
⁠
If you are looking for the perfect egg pasta to add to your shelves, our producer offers a variety of shapes and flavours, one more delicious than the other. Don’t hesitate to get in touch to know more, we’re always a DM away. ⁠

At the heart of many of our products lies a deep connection to old traditions and methods that have been passed down through generations. These practices have become like rituals, passionately repeated day in and day out.⁠
⁠
One product that exemplifies this dedication is Armatore Colatura di Alici, an extraordinary anchovy extract. Sourced exclusively during the spring season by the skilled fishing boats of Cetara on the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, their anchovies are swiftly processed within hours of being caught. ⁠
⁠
With meticulous care, they are arranged in layers inside chestnut barrels, alternating with layers of sea salt. This patient maturation process can range anywhere from 18 to 30 months, allowing the flavours to develop and deepen.⁠
⁠
By simply adding a few drops of our Colatura di Alici, you can elevate a classic bruschetta with tomatoes and creamy burrata cheese. Infusing linguine with clams takes on a new dimension of taste and complexity. Even a refreshing summer salad featuring avocado and delicate salmon can be taken to the next level with the addition of this anchovy extract.⁠

May Issue is out and we couldn’t be happier to see our CEO Gianfranco Perri featured in a great conversation around olive oils, consumer choices and future trends. ⁠
⁠
“Having personal relationships with our producers means that we see the love and expertise which, literally, gets poured into every bottle. Our producers create products which are a fundamental reflection of themselves (they are ‘the brand’), their history, and their relationship with a geographical area. This means they care deeply for how their produce is received by the end consumer.”⁠

What is your take on nougat? A seasonal occurrence, or a daily necessity? ⁠
⁠
We recently introduced Dolcital in our range, a company that has produced soft and hard nougat for over a 100 years.⁠
⁠
Long and slow is the cooking time of the nougat dough, that reaches the right consistency only thanks to an indirect steam heating process. After at least 6 hours the nougat dough is whipped and the sugar cloud is ready to be collected. For some products, the heating lasts even 13 hours. Time, patience and care are the key ingredients for the perfect sweetness! ⁠
