Fusilli di Pisa – Artisan Pastificio Martelli Toscana (2.2 lb)

Description A secret enclosed in 7 spirals. The latest creation from Martelli is inspired by the story of Peciolo, a baker from Pisa, who in 1284 hired a worker, “Famulus Salvius,” to make pasta. Seven spirals, like the rings of the Tower of Pisa, with a slight ridging along the edges to represent the walkways, follow one another in a vortex that elevates the flavor to its highest potential. At the Artisan Pastificio Martelli in the ancient village of Lari, nestled among the Pisan hills, tradition and quality are paramount. Unlike modern factories, we use slow, low-temperature methods to craft our pasta, preserving the rich flavor of Italian durum wheat and ensuring excellent sauce absorption and digestibility. Our pasta is bronze-drawn and dried at temperatures below 36°C over 50 hours, a painstaking process that retains its nutritional value and enhances its unique taste and texture. Our commitment to tradition extends to our sourcing, using the finest local grains milled by Molino Borgioli. Each batch is carefully mixed with cold water and handcrafted by passionate artisans. The drying process is meticulously managed in wooden chambers, adapting to daily climate conditions, ensuring each spaghetti strand is perfect. The final touch is the packaging, done lovingly by hand, preserving the quality and authenticity of our product.
