Paccheri Michele Portoghese - 500 g
The origins of Paccheri are disputed between the people of Campania and Calabria, but it's impossible to attribute the origins of this particular shape to either one or the other. They are part of the large, straight-cut pasta family. "La pacca," translated in Neapolitan as "slap," likely refers to their thick, heavy consistency, like a well-placed slap. Paccheri are recommended for preparing pasta dishes with thick, full-bodied meat sauces that penetrate the pasta and flavor it. Alternatively, they can be enjoyed in baked pies with cheese and tomato sauce.
Michele Portoghese Pasta is a true artisanal creation, inspired by the timeless traditions of Italian pasta-making.
Many years ago, pasta was crafted entirely by hand. After carefully kneading the dough, it was shaped using a traditional press and left to dry naturally under the warmth of the sun or by the gentle heat of a fireplace. This slow, patient process gave pasta its distinctive flavor, texture, and authenticity.
Today, Michele Portoghese Pasta continues to honor these traditional methods while embracing the highest modern quality standards. Only carefully selected grains are used, expertly blended into premium semolina to ensure excellence in every batch. The drying process remains slow and carried out at low temperatures, the most delicate and crucial phase of production. Temperature control is essential, as it directly influences flavor development, protein integrity, and overall nutritional value.
This meticulous attention preserves the pasta’s rich taste, high nutritional content, and ensures optimal performance during cooking, delivering perfect consistency, exceptional yield, and an authentic Italian experience in every plate.
Michele Portoghese Pasta is not just food; it is a celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality.
