Why we love it
Cavatelli pasta is a traditional Italian shape known for its small, elongated form and slight central indentation, resembling tiny open clams. This unique design makes cavatelli perfect for capturing rich, hearty sauces, from slow-cooked meat ragù to "allo scoglio". Their versatility means they pair beautifully with everything.
Our artisanal cavatelli is made in Puglia using only the finest quality durum wheat flour and water - no eggs, no additives. This makes it a perfect choice for vegans and vegetarians seeking an authentic pasta experience. Following traditional techniques, the pasta is shaped by hand or bronze die, then slow-dried at low temperatures to preserve its nutritional value and deliver a superior al dente texture.
Whether you’re preparing a comforting southern Italian dish or exploring new flavour combinations, our vegan-friendly, artisan cavatelli offers the ideal base. Taste the difference of real, small-batch Italian pasta with every bite.
The artisan who made it
Forno Meridiano was founded in the heart of Ruvo di Puglia, a charming town just north of Bari, by three lifelong friends — Antonio, Giuseppe, and Vito. Forno Meridiano is their way of telling the story of Puglia through flavour - spreading the unique tastes of our land far and wide. Behind our products is more than twenty years of hands-on experience, rooted deeply in tradition and manual production. Today, that foundation supports a forward-looking journey towards modern, sustainable methods - all in the name of authentic taste.
Forno Meridiano only chooses the finest raw materials, following a fully traceable supply chain. Every ingredient is carefully sourced and handled with attention to detail - the same care that continues all the way to your table. It’s their commitment to transparency, quality, and flavour in every bite.
Taralli are one of the most iconic products of Apulian gastronomy. At Forno Meridiano, they honour this tradition while pairing it with contemporary production methods. The result is an authentic product made to the highest quality standards. It’s ancient knowledge, passed down through the centuries, brought to life in every pack.
They’ve redefined the traditional Apulian tarallo by experimenting with new shapes and using innovative flours and grains. Their mission is to merge indulgent flavours with well-being - creating a new generation of taralli that are lighter, crispier, and full of character, without compromising their roots.
