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.

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.
