Collitali pastas are made only from natural ingredients (bran and water), and contain no coloring or flavoring. The distinct black stripe color of the pasta is derived from squid ink, a known Italian delicacy. The pastas are drawn in old bronze drawplates and dies which gives the pasta its rustic look and traditional shapes, but also yields a rougher, porous texture allowing pasta sauces to adhere better. This special process and longer air drying periods takes more than 3 times longer to produce than traditional supermarket pasta; you can be assured it’s certainly reflected in the taste.
Do not overcook. Follow instruction guide on the package.
