Girella Pasta - Sapori di Napoli

1.1 lb - Naples, Italy

Girella is a short, curly pasta with plenty of surface area to soak up rich tomato and meat sauces. Traditional production methods ensure superior texture and flavor, and girelle are always a big hit with the kids!

About the Producer: Sapori di Napoli
In Italy's Campania region, pasta is considered art, ritual, culture, and history - especially in Naples and the towns and villages that surround it. The craftsmen at the Pastificio Artigianale Romita - located in the village of Borgo Reale di S. Leucio about 15 miles due north of Naples - produce their pasta Sapori di Napoli with the love and devotion of connoisseurs.

The skill and experience of the Master Pasta Makers are paramount; they employ traditional production methods now abandoned by industrial pasta makers. Starting with just the purest water and semolina from hand-selected durum wheat - whose low ash and high gluten content create superior texture and flavor - they work the dough by hand before extruding it through bronze dies in the traditional manner. The pasta is then dried slowly under controlled low-temperature conditions from 24 to 92 hours depending on the shape. This slow drying leads to uniform absorption of water during cooking and a perfect "al dente" on your plate.

Superior Sapori

Sapori di Napoli is a superior brand of pasta, and Girella is our favorite, due to its flavor, unique shape, and ability to retain sauce -- no matter the type or amount. For our taste, we find it typically requires an extra minute or two past "al dente," which is a bit on the firm side. The Girella remains firm and retains its shape on reheating. It, along with the Bucatini, are favorites. Highly recommended.
