Pici toscani

The Maremma is an unspoiled place where nature reigns supreme. An area long dedicated to the cultivation of olives since ancient times. Here, for four generations now, the passion for these wonderful plants and the fruit they can give has been carried forward: olives. The pasta is made with durum wheat semolina and crafted using traditional methods. Pici are characterised by their special elongated cylindrical shape reminiscent of a large spaghetti strand. A format with a hearty, often irregular texture. Pici originates from Tuscan peasant cuisine. A Tuscan pasta that is often served with vegetable sauce. But there are no limits to the sauces that can be paired with pici. They are produced in Tuscany using only Tuscan wheat. They also pair very well with meat sauces. Pasta made with Tuscan durum wheat semolina, artisan crafted - this is Pici toscani. Pairings: Pici are shaped by hand into nests. Perfect with traditional Tuscan sauces. Enjoy them with basil pesto or sun-dried tomato pesto.
