Bronze Pasta Linguine
Linguine – flat pasta with the perfect bite and sauce-holding power
Linguine is a classic Italian pasta type, best described as flat spaghetti. The pasta originates from Liguria and has its roots in the coastal city of Genoa, where it’s traditionally associated with the iconic pesto alla Genovese. In Italy, linguine is also known as bavette or trenette. Its slightly flattened shape gives linguine a unique ability to bind sauce. Unlike round spaghetti, linguine has a larger surface area, which helps both light and richer sauces cling better and spread evenly. Linguine is therefore an obvious choice for pesto, oil-based sauces, tomato sauces, as well as fish and seafood.
Zelected Bronze Pasta Linguine made from durum wheat. The ideal side when you want something easy and delicious.
Also available in a wholegrain version.
Not all pasta is created equal
To achieve fast, efficient industrial production, modern conventional pasta is made using Teflon dies. Teflon releases easily, but gives the pasta a smooth surface, meaning it can’t hold onto the sauce. The result is that the sauce slides off and pools at the bottom of the plate.
Zelected bronze pasta is instead made using the traditional method.
A bronze pasta die gives the pasta a naturally rough, porous texture. The seemingly relatively small difference between Teflon and bronze dies, however, has a huge impact on the taste experience. Bronze pasta grips the sauce better, captures the flavour, and gives you a truly authentic eating experience. Bite after bite.
But texture isn’t the only secret. Unlike conventional pasta, which is dried quickly at high temperatures, bronze pasta goes through a slow drying process.
The drying takes place at low temperatures and lasts up to 12 hours. The process preserves the wheat’s aroma, natural flavour, and nutritional value—something that can’t be achieved with fast drying.
The result is that with bronze pasta you get a shape-holding pasta that cooks perfectly al dente in just 10 minutes and turns a simple pasta dish into an authentic Italian meal.
