Strozzapreti, Antichi Sapori (500gr)

Italians are passionate about pasta, and with hundreds of different shapes across the country, each region - and even town - boasts its own local specialty. Among them, Strozzapreti stands out as a beloved pasta shape from central and southern Italy, particularly from Marche, Emilia-Romagna, and Apulia. The name “strozzapreti” means “priest-stranglers”, a curious and folkloric reference to its historical origins.

Strozzapreti is a short, hand-rolled pasta with a gently twisted appearance, making it ideal for clinging to creamy and smooth sauces like tomato and ricotta, pesto, or delicate vegetable-based condiments. Its shape adds texture to every bite while complementing the flavours of both rustic and refined dishes.

Our artisan strozzapreti is crafted in small batches using only high-quality Apulian flour and pure water, following traditional methods passed down through generations. The pasta is then slow-dried at low temperatures to preserve its integrity, improve digestibility, and deliver the perfect al dente finish.

Naturally egg-free, vegan, and vegetarian-friendly, our strozzapreti is a wholesome, authentic choice for those looking to bring the genuine taste of Italian cuisine into their kitchen. .
