Pasta di Gragnano P.G.I. - PACCHERI, 500g

Paccheri Pasta di Gragnano I.G.P. from Pastificio Ducato d'Amalfi are among Campania's most traditional pasta shapes and are considered a symbol of pasta artistry from Gragnano and the Naples region. Their large, tubular structure makes them particularly expressive and ideal for rich, hearty sauces.

The name Paccheri is derived from the Neapolitan word pacchero, which roughly translates to a strong slap – an allusion to its striking shape and the characteristic sound when the pasta knocks together during cooking. Culinarily, Paccheri represents rustic elegance and deeply rooted Italian food culture.

Made from 100% Italian durum wheat semolina and pure spring water from the Monti Lattari mountains, the dough is traditionally pressed through bronze dies. This creates the typical rough, porous surface to which sauces adhere particularly well. The slow, gentle drying process over several days preserves aroma, structure, and al dente quality.

The result is an exceptional pasta with a perfect bite, intense texture, and authentic flavor – a true highlight for sophisticated pasta dishes.
