Description
Rustichella d'Abruzzo Linguine is a premium, artisanal pasta crafted using traditional methods in the Abruzzo region of Italy. Made from the highest quality durum wheat semolina and pure Apennine mountain spring water, this pasta is extruded through bronze dies. This traditional process creates a rough, porous surface specifically designed to grip and hold sauces, ensuring a superior flavor experience in every bite.
As a trusted Canadian seller based in Calgary, Alberta, we offer this world-class pasta to chefs and home cooks who refuse to compromise on texture. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, Rustichella pasta is air-dried at low temperatures for up to 50 hours to preserve the nutritional value and the natural nutty aroma of the wheat.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long should I cook Rustichella Linguine? Typically, it takes 9 to 11 minutes to reach a perfect al dente. We recommend checking the pasta 1–2 minutes before the suggested time.
What makes bronze-die pasta better? Bronze dies leave the surface of the pasta slightly abrasive. This allows the sauce to coat the noodles evenly instead of pooling at the bottom of the plate.
Is this pasta suitable for vegans? Yes, Rustichella Linguine is made simply from wheat and water, making it 100% plant-based and vegan-friendly.
How does the slow-drying process affect the taste? Slow drying at low temperatures prevents the wheat starches from "cooking" prematurely, preserving the complex flavor of the grain and the ideal texture.
Can I use this for heavy meat sauces? While linguine is classic for seafood and oil-based sauces, the strength of this artisanal wheat allows it to pair beautifully with heavier ragus as well.
Is there a difference between this and supermarket linguine? Yes; the difference in wheat quality and the traditional manufacturing process results in a significantly better texture, taste, and sauce-holding ability.
