About Bronze Extruded Pasta: Why does pasta in Italy always taste so good? Because for over 400 years, the best Italian pasta has been crafted using bronze dies. When I decided to introduce a pasta line under my name, I insisted on this time honored process because it produces a taste that is true to the quality of our 100% durum wheat semolina ingredient. The unique texture from the bronze die process allows sauce to adhere better to the pasta, offering an authentic dining experience that you cannot get from conventional pastas. People often ask me if there is a true difference among pastas. When you try this pasta, you will taste the difference. Enjoy!
