Light consistency, rich flavor and a porous texture that captures sauces and condiments in every bite. It has none of the gumminess or blandness you find in more commercial productions. Marche's climate conditions, the water and the nature of the soil all contribute to an excellent production of wheat. Latini pasta is made from semolina flour mixed slowly with water and passed through bronze dies (hence the increased porousness) that Carlo Latini himself designed. The rough surface also accentuates the fragrance of pasta made from different varieties of durum wheat. While industrially produced pasta is dryed quickly at very high temperatures that alter the flavor of the wheat, Latini is dried at low temperatures (40-45 °C) for a much longer time. The secret is to maintain the highest possible protein value and the exceptional characteristics of flavor and texture in our pasta made only from selected grains of durum wheat. Our Latini pasta selection features: Pasta Latini Linea Classica Selection An expression of artisanally made pasta at its best, Latini Linea Classica selection is made with a blend of carefully selected durum wheat varieties grown by the Latini family in Italy. In the words of Carlo Latini himself "I spent many days cooking 27 different types of pasta, each created with a single variety of durum wheat. I observed their colors, touched their surfaces, listened to the sounds they made when they cracked and smelled their aromas as they cooked in boiling water." Available in 23 shapes for all preferences and preparations, Linea Classica Selection brings artisanal pasta making to new heights. | | | Features: | |

A Versatile Pasta with a Great NameOct 10, 2010
By gingerd
Latini durum wheat pastas are uniformly excellent in quality. They offer a range of die cut shapes that are not widely available in middle American supermarkets. One of my favorites is Strozzapreti, not just for the name (which means priest strangler) but also for its versatility. It can stand up to a heavy tomato based sauce, but is also wonderful with simple olive oil, garlic, pancetta, mushrooms and a bit of cheese. The taste and texture are superb and the cooking times listed on their boxes are exactly right.
