The unique characteristics of Gragnano Calamarata 

Calamarata di Gragnano is a traditional pasta from Campania, characterised by its tubular shape with an oblique cut. One of its unique characteristics is its consistency, which makes it ideal for holding sauces. Moreover, Gragnano Calamarata is made only with durum wheat semolina and water, without the addition of preservatives or colouring agents. Thanks to the long, slow drying process at low temperatures, Calamarata di Gragnano retains its unmistakable flavour and aroma, and is rich in nutrients and easily digestible. This pasta can be used in many recipes, but the most classic combinations are with seafood, fish or tomato sauces.
