Italian
Pasta - from Stefano Sbiroli
Stefano
Sbiroli is the driving force behind this Bari based pasta company started
by his grandfather. It has always been their insistence to use only the
best durum wheat grown in the area around Foggiano. The resulting pasta
is of the highest quality with a pale colour and a matt texture ideal
for holding sauces and flavours.
The production process begins with the mixing of the durum wheat semolina
and water in a large, noisy steel press. Next the mixture is pressed and
drawn through traditional bronze rings to produce the various shapes.
The drying process requires patience, at a low temperature of 40-45C the
short pasta takes 24 hours and the long pasta 36 hours to fully dry.

These products all
bear the trademark Principato di Lucedio, this ensures that the rice
is from the 1250 acre estate surrounding the Abbey of Lucedio (picture
on left). Rice as been cultivated on these lands since the 15th century,
when it was introduced by the monks. In 1937 the whole estate was purchased
by Count Paolo Cavalli d'Olivola the father of Countess Rosetta who
now owns and runs the estate. The rice is grown natually and packaged
in a controlled atmosphere without using preservatives. This ensures
that the rice remains fresh, full of flavour and retains high nutritional
values. |
