Ingredients
We exclusively import premium Italian Semola Rimacinata and Doppio Zero (00) flour. This builds the rich, bouncy gluten network essential for fresh, handcrafted pasta that holds its sauce flawlessly.
Heritage
Grown near Mt. Vesuvius, San Marzano D.O.P. tomatoes carry low acidity, a bittersweet balance, and dense flesh. They are highly prized and the only genuine selection for authentic Neapolitan red sauces.
Heritage
Our Neapolitan dough undergoes a strictly managed 48-hour cold fermentation cycle. This slowly breaks down complex starches, resulting in a cloud-light, highly digestible rustic crust.
