To best guarantee the intact preservation of the semolina properties, it does not use storage silos.

The fresh milling semolina, obtained from the first extraction coarse grindstone, is poured bag by bag into the loading hopper, this procedure allows you to check the quality of the raw material punch after punch.

The formation of the dough (semolina and water) takes place slowly in a cold vacuum tank.

The dough, kept at a low temperature so as not to be stressed, passes through bronze dies, which give the pasta, even the smooth shapes, that color and roughness that allows sauces and condiments to bind better.

The short pasta is placed on wooden frames, while the long formats (spaghetti and linguine) on reeds. Then follows the drying, which takes place in static cells at a low temperature. It is at this stage that the SLOW production process makes the difference.

The deliberate slowness of drying guarantees the complete and uniform evaporation of the water from the pasta, preventing starch from hardening and the consequent crystallization of the external part. The average temperature is around 40 ° and allows to obtain an excellent product which, together with the right thickness, keeps intact the proteins (about 13%), the starch, the flavor and the aroma of freshly ground wheat, giving the pasta an added value.
