How it’s made
The durum wheat is harvested in Italy. We only use Italian durum wheat from organic farming.
The TechniqueThe 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 dough is gently rolled then cut into tagliatelle form.
The ResultEach of the ancient techniques used to create ATAVI Tagliatelle needs... Time. Each natural process, carried out in Italy, requires time, patience and skill to be completed.
FAQ
Our pasta is produced in a small laboratory in Parma (Italy).
We developed our Tagliatelle having as a main goal a new sensory experience in terms of APPEARANCE, TASTE and TEXTURE. For these reasons we crafted the products with a special lamination technique that gives them an authentic appearance, neither rough nor smooth, but deliberately irregular. In addition, thanks to both production technology and raw materials, our Tagliatelle have a unique consistency, with a firm bite and a full-body texture in the mouth. Finally, FLAVOURS, all the transformations applied to wheat provide products with additional layers of flavors compared to a regular pasta: from the sourness of a fresh baked bread to toasted and nutty notes, to smoked and intense umami flavors.
As usual pasta, in hot boiling water with salt. The timing is on each pack: 7 min for SOURDOUGH and SMOKED and 6 min for UMAMI. We also suggest trying to cook the product in a “risotto” style, which means directly in a pan adding the cooking water little by little. Letting the tagliatelle absorb the water and, at the same time, release its flavor to create a sort of creamy sauce that enhances the pasta flavor.
