Tarallo

The Tarallo is a traditional snack pastry from Apulia, the sun-drenched south of Italy. This savory ring gets its distinctive, brittle-crispy texture through a unique manufacturing process: the dough made from wheat flour, white wine, and high-quality olive oil is first boiled in water and then baked golden brown in the oven. This method makes the Tarallo a rustic and authentic snack, perfect to enjoy with a glass of wine, antipasti, or simply on its own.

SGAMBARO Pasta

Sgambaro pasta is the result of a deep passion for grains, passed down through three generations. Produced in the heart of Veneto, Sgambaro stands for pasta made exclusively from the best Italian durum wheat, such as the high-quality "Marco Aurelio" variety. Through the traditional bronze die method (trafilata al bronzo), the pasta acquires a rough, porous surface that ideally absorbs sauces. The slow and gentle drying at low temperatures preserves the nutritional value and the authentic wheat flavor.

What to expect from this product:

• 100% Italian Durum Wheat: Use of carefully selected durum wheat, grown exclusively in Italy and milled in the company's own mill.
• Bronze Die Production: The "Trafilatura al Bronzo" ensures a rough pasta surface to which every type of sauce adheres perfectly.
• Gentle, Slow Drying: A slow drying process at low temperatures preserves the full flavor and al dente texture of the pasta.
• Controlled Origin: A product with guaranteed traceability from field to plate, produced by a traditional family business.
