Morelli Linguine with Wheat Germ Pasta

500 gram bag - Pisa, Italy

Although we are not generally big fans of colored or flavored pastas, Morelli Linguine is an exception. Not only beautiful to look at, but easy to serve. With a hearty tomato sauce, a cream sauce, or just with a touch of lemon, olive oil, and salt.

The Wheat Germ pasta has a subtle but exceptional flavor that is hard to describe but very addictive. Perfect with just olive oil and a little sea salt.

Located in Pisa, Italy, Antico Pastificio Morelli was established in 1860 and has been passed down through five generations.

The pasta is kneaded slowly and dried at a low temperature to keep the organoleptic properties intact. One of the keys to Morelli's methods is the inclusion of the wheat germ.

Using artisanal techniques, they process the fresh wheat germ and include it in the pasta while the germ is still fresh.

The intense wheat aroma is released during the cooking process, and the water will turn slightly green because of the presence of the fresh wheat germ. That's what gives the pasta its extraordinary and unmistakable flavor.
