Rustichella-dabruzzo

The Most Traditional Italian Pasta

Rustichella d'Abruzzo brings the ancient art of pasta-making to your table from Abruzzo, Italy. The self-proclaimed “most traditional pasta in the world” is packaged in a rustic, brown paper design to evoke a feeling of Old World nostalgia. The first Americans to discover Rustichella d’Abruzzo were the founders of New York’s famous gourmet market Dean & DeLuca. It was this relationship that kicked off the Italian pasta brand’s success in the United States.

How Rustichella d’Abruzzo Pasta Is Made

Rustichella d’Abruzzo Italian pasta is made according to old artisan practices, using only the best durum wheat semolina and pure mountain water. The drying process is carried out for up to 50 hours at low temperatures, as opposed to industrial pasta makers who dry pasta at high temperatures for much shorter periods of time. The result is delicious, authentic Italian pasta with wonderful flavor and texture.

Types of Pasta

The Abruzzo-based brand produces all the pasta shapes you can think of, from long pasta types like linguine and bucatini, to short pasta types like penne rigate and mezze maniche. You’ll even find small pasta like elbow macaroni and fregola sarda. Aside from their classic line, Rustichella d’Abruzzo also offers organic pasta, gluten-free pasta, and unique flavors like red chili pepper, porcini mushroom, and squid ink spaghetti.
