How it’s made

The Source

The durum wheat is harvested in Italy. We only use Italian durum wheat from organic farming.

The Technique

The wheat is nixtamlized and smoked with wine canes. Nixtamalization is a process traditionally applied to corn, or other grains, in which the grain is soaked and cooked in an alkaline solution, usually limewater, washed, and then hulled.

The Process

Understanding that the magic of pasta lies in its diversity, a new twisted shape was developed to sit alongside their renowned Michelin standard Tagliatelles. The new short pasta has a unique shape and rough texture designed to hold sauce and provide a full sensory experience.

The Result

Each of the ancient techniques used to create Atavi Vortici needs... Time. Each natural process, carried out in Italy, requires time, patience and skill to be completed.
