White pasta is made exclusively from Demeter certified biodynamic hard wheat semolina. The semolina is the made up of the more refined, interior part of the grain. The result is an easier to digest pasta - especially for those who have difficulty digesting coarse fibers. Bronze drawn, this pasta is formed into long, narrow ribbons. The pasta is then slowly dried at a low temperature to maintain the nutritional properties of the grains.

We were served an outstanding sampling of their favorite family pasta dishes made by the Beccaro family ...
