Orecchiette, Antichi Sapori (500gr)

When you mention orecchiette pasta in Italy, no matter where you are, everyone immediately thinks of the iconic Apulian dish, orecchiette alle cime di rapa. This traditional recipe combines orecchiette with cime di rapa (also known as broccoli rabe) and sausage. Discover how to make it here.

Our artisanal orecchiette pasta - named after their unique "little ears" shape - is crafted exclusively with high-quality Apulian flour and water, then slow-dried at low temperatures to preserve flavour and achieve the perfect firm texture when cooked. This traditional process enhances the pasta’s ability to hold sauces beautifully.
