If it’s not from Gragnano, what pasta is it? We could borrow a well-known Italian advertising slogan to describe this Italian gastronomic miracle. We wanted it at all costs, we chose it among many proposals and we wanted the pasta factory to be Mulino di Gragnano, because in its pasta there are historical values and traditions that have now been lost in many other brands.
The water that arrives at the Mulino di Gragnano pasta factory is still that which springs from the Monti Lattari and, in part, flows into the beautiful fountain of the town. It is a spring water that traverses centuries-old rocks and limestone and is enriched with all the minerals needed to enhance the flavor, thickness, and the compact yet porous structure of the pasta.
In the ancient buildings of the center of Gragnano, just as was done in the past, there is a laboratory for short pasta and long pasta. One of these is located right along the street that captures the air that rises from the sea and has allowed for the natural drying of the shapes made from durum wheat semolina mixed with water for hundreds of years.
The Mulino di Gragnano is considered one of the five best pasta factories in Gragnano. Just try it to understand what it means to have pasta of excellence. Pasta that has no rivals in absorbing creamy sauces and more liquid dressings.
Ideal for fish main courses. Simply perfect for sauces and fresh tomato and basil purées. It's hard to resist the perfection of linguine with pesto or with clams.
The most requested formats and those that find the highest sales are definitely those that best represent Neapolitan and coastal cuisine. Even rare and typical formats such as O’ Siscariello, Fusillo al Ferretto, Paccheri, and Mafalde. Not to mention the Calamarata, which becomes ideal for a sauté with shrimp or calamari with tomato.
The shape and thickness are the result of family tradition. The Double Spaghetto has the fold that highlights the fact that it is still today dried while hanging on a string, as it was done in the past. It is a unique sight to see the spaghetti hanging from the ancient hangers like sheets in the wind. Spaghetti that has thus the double length of what we are commonly used to, but which allows for even better and greater absorption of the dressings on the plate. Ideal for twirling on the fork for gourmet dishes and delicacies.
