If you’ve ever visited Liguria, you’ll know there’s only one true pairing when it comes to pasta and pesto - Trofie al Pesto. Trofie is a traditional Ligurian pasta shape, known for its short, twisted form that perfectly clings to creamy sauces, especially the region’s famous basil pesto. This classic combination is a staple of Ligurian cuisine and a must-try for lovers of authentic Italian food.
Our artisan Trofie pasta is crafted using only high-quality Apulian flour and water, following time-honoured methods to preserve its texture and taste. The pasta is then slow-dried at low temperatures, allowing it to retain its natural flavour and achieve the perfect al dente bite.
Naturally free from eggs and additives, our Trofie is 100% vegan and vegetarian friendly, making it an ideal choice for anyone seeking a traditional yet plant-based pasta option. Whether served with
pesto Genovese, creamy vegetable sauces, or light tomato-based condiments, this pasta shape adds an authentic Italian touch to your meals.

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.
