Classic Fusilli - Pasta Zito
The architecture of the Pasta Zito Classic Fusilli is the result of an in-depth study of the dynamics of sauces. The spiral shape has been calibrated to envelop sauces thoroughly, turning every bite into a complete sensory experience. At the heart of this artisanal Roman production is the choice of ancient organic grains, such as white sorghum, combined with rice to create a dough with a firm texture and an aromatic profile reminiscent of toasted hazelnut. The raw ingredients come exclusively from mills that use stone milling, a technique that respects the structure of the grain and preserves its original sensory characteristics.
The production process at Daniele Zito's workshop follows rigorous protocols that exclude any industrial acceleration. The dough is passed through bronze dies, giving the fusilli a rough, almost velvety surface to the touch, essential for creating a lasting bond with the sauce. This is followed by static drying, a crucial stage during which the pasta rests for more than 24 hours at temperatures that never exceed 40°C. This gentle heat treatment protects the pasta's qualities, ensuring that it does not break during cooking and that the finished product maintains an exceptional resistance to the bite, characteristic of pasta made according to traditional craftsmanship.
Beyond their technical performance, Pasta Zito fusilli have an interesting feature related to their versatility: their ability to retain the moisture of sauces makes them perfect not only for classic meat or fish ragù, but also for preparations featuring crunchy vegetables or light pestos. Thanks to the quality of the organic flours, the cooking water becomes enriched with a small amount of high-quality starch, ideal for completing the preparation with a creamy, enveloping finish directly in the pan. Each package is a tribute to cereal biodiversity and to Daniele Zito's desire to offer pasta that is democratic, inclusive and, above all, excellent in terms of flavour and colour retention.
Attention to supply-chain transparency is the cornerstone on which the entire pasta-making operation is built. From grain selection to the manual supervision of every batch, Spanu ensures that the product reaches consumers' tables according to the highest safety and quality standards. Sustainable raw materials reflect an ongoing commitment to environmental protection and to enhancing high-quality agricultural work. Choosing Classic Fusilli means discovering a new way of experiencing the first course, where the artisanal craftsmanship of Rome combines with technological research to offer pasta that is safe, flavourful and capable of transforming every recipe into a small masterpiece of contemporary Italian gastronomy.
