Tips and curiosities of the tomolo
An interesting fact about Calabrian and Sicilian maccheroncini. The two types of pasta are often confused, but there are some differences between them. Firstly, Sicilian maccheroncini are usually smaller and shorter than Calabrian maccheroncini. Also, Sicilians like to eat their maccheroncini with a meat sauce, while Calabrians traditionally prefer them with a tomato sauce.
The pasta artisans: The Astorino Company and
its contribution to Maccheroncini Calabrese
Astorino is a renowned artisan pasta producer in Calabria that has made a significant contribution to the region's culinary tradition with the creation of Maccheroncini Calabrese. Founded in 2002, Astorino has inherited ancient techniques and secrets handed down from generation to generation, allowing it to produce unique pasta. Using only the highest quality durum wheat semolina and pure water from the Calabrian mountains, Astorino makes its pasta by hand in a slow and careful process. This results in a rough and porous texture, ideal for holding sauces and enhancing the intense flavours of Calabrian cuisine. Astorino's Maccheroncini Calabrese are a true gastronomic treasure, embodying the authentic artisan tradition of Calabria.
The best food combinations with Maccheroncini Calabrese
Maccheroncini Calabrese is an artisan pasta that offers a wide range of culinary possibilities thanks to its unique texture and ability to hold sauces. Thanks to its rough and porous surface, this pasta is perfect for combining with rich and flavoursome sauces, such as meat or fish ragù.
