Sgambaro Orecchiette Pasta - 1 pound - Italy

Traditionally, the pasta maker's thumbprint creates these "little ears;" superior ingredients and traditional production methods give them excellent flavor and texture. This classic pasta shape from Puglia is great for your favorite chunky sauces - the indentation traps all the wonderful bits of sauce for an excellent mouthful - and mouthfeel! Great for kids.

About the Producer

Third-generation family-run Pastificio Sgambaro carefully chooses durum wheat varieties that give their pasta its truly high-quality flavor and texture. In their quest to produce the very best pasta possible, the Sgambaro family created the Italian Durum Wheat Project, with the goal of producing pasta with only superior durum wheat grown exclusively on Italian farms - counter to the trend of most large Italian pasta makers who use wheat from the USA and Canada. His pursuit of quality led Jolly Sgambaro became the first Pastificio owner to be awarded the respected "Grano Duro Italiano" (Italian Durum Wheat) product certification.
