I Pici di Grano Duro are one of the most authentic expressions of Tuscan culinary tradition. Originating from traditional rural cuisine, these distinctive rustic thick spaghetti are characterized by their intentionally irregular shape, generous thickness and hearty, substantial texture, making them perfect for enhancing traditional sauces.
Made with high-quality durum wheat semolina, the Pici are carefully crafted to preserve the natural qualities of the raw material, resulting in pasta with an authentic flavor and a pleasantly firm texture. Bronze-die extrusion gives the surface its characteristic roughness, creating a porous texture that holds sauces and dressings beautifully.
Their substantial texture makes them ideal for rich and flavorful dishes. They are traditionally served with meat ragù, the characteristic Aglione sauce, or tomato-based sauces. For a simple yet delicious preparation, they are also excellent with a drizzle of our Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which enhances their authentic flavor and satisfying texture.
