Montebello Organic Fusilli Pasta, 1 Pound -- 12 per case

Named for the Italian word fuso, or spindle, fusilli was traditionally made by rolling thin strips of pasta around a small rod to create a corkscrew shape. Our version is made using durum wheat semolina organically grown on a small cooperative of family farms in the rolling hills overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Its especially good at holding onto sauces such as pesto and tomato and is an ideal choice for using in pasta salads. When it comes to great pasta, we go straight to the source: the skilled Italian artisans of Montebello. Using old world techniques, they combine organic semolina flour with a sprinkling of pure water from a neighboring spring. The delicate dough is then shaped through bronze and traditional dies and left to gradually air dry, a meticulous process that results in pasta perfection. Bite for bite, its as delicious as homemade, delivering Italian excellence to any dish.
