Organic Bronze-Die Pasta Spaghettoni
Spaghettoni – thicker spaghetti with extra bite
Spaghettoni is a thicker, more robust version of classic spaghetti. The larger diameter gives the pasta a more pronounced bite and makes it ideal for rich, hearty sauces.
This pasta shape is especially well suited to meat-based sauces, ragù, cacio e pepe, and dishes with olive oil, chili, and garlic. Spaghettoni is an obvious choice for pasta lovers who want a more intense texture experience and a pasta that can carry bold flavors.
For Zelected organic pasta, we select only the finest durum wheat with a high protein content.
Zelected organic pasta is extruded through bronze dies, giving the pasta a rough surface that holds onto sauce well.
Zelected organic pasta is gently dried to retain as much flavor and texture as possible after cooking.
Not all pasta is created equal
To achieve fast, efficient industrial production, modern conventional pasta is made using Teflon dies. Teflon releases easily, but it gives the pasta a smooth surface, which means 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-die 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-die pasta grips the sauce better, captures the flavor, 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-die 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 flavor, and nutritional value—something you can’t achieve with fast drying.
The result is that with bronze-die 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.
