Pastai Gragnanesi Mafaldine Pasta di Gragnano I.G.P. – Organic Bronze Italian Pasta, Reginette Shape, Premium Pasta Imported from Italy – 17.6 oz (500g)

Pastai Gragnanesi Mafaldine – Pasta di Gragnano I.G.P. Mafaldine is a traditional ribbon-shaped pasta from Gragnano, Italy, the historic town known worldwide as the capital of Italian pasta making. Produced by Pastai Gragnanesi, this authentic Pasta di Gragnano I.G.P. (Protected Geographical Indication) follows strict production standards that preserve the heritage and craftsmanship of Italian pasta. This elegant pasta shape, also known as Reginette, features delicate ruffled edges that help sauces cling beautifully to every strand. The name Mafaldine is traditionally linked to Princess Mafalda of Savoy, in whose honor the pasta was named in the early 1900s, although the shape itself existed long before in the Neapolitan pasta tradition. Made with 100% Italian organic durum wheat semolina and crafted using traditional bronze dies (Trafilatura al Bronzo), the pasta develops a naturally rough surface that enhances sauce absorption. The pasta is also slow-dried at low temperatures, a traditional method that preserves flavor and gives the pasta its firm texture when cooked. Pastai Gragnanesi continues the historic pasta-making tradition of Gragnano using a unique vertical production process, unlike modern horizontal factories. This traditional structure helps preserve the artisanal techniques and manual expertise passed down through generations of pasta makers. The result is an authentic Italian pasta with a chewier texture, richer wheat flavor, and rougher surface than typical supermarket pasta, making it perfect for rich ragù sauces, creamy recipes, and classic Italian dishes.
