Di Martino spaghetti No.3 1.95mm 500g Di Martino

Product Information

The Italian town of Gragnano, just south of Pompeii, is known far and wide for its high quality pasta. Its rich tradition of artisan pasta-making set a young boy named Giuseppe Di Martino on a lifelong path when he was just 10 years old. The child studied the trade while working at a local pasta factory, taught by a man who had no sons to pass his business to. In 1912, the man left his factory to Giuseppe, and Pastificio Di Martino was born. From the 360-degree vantage point on the top of the Pastificio Di Martino building, where semolina dust slips up from the vents forming the dust devils darting across the floor, it’s easy to see how Gragnano is positioned to be a natural pasta-making factory. The city is encased by mountains on three sides and the sea on the other, creating a rain shadow effect ideal for drying pasta slowly in the street over days as marine breezes blow in from the coast. The buildings are staggered in a way so that the moist wind, which blows in several times a day, provides natural ventilation by forming a tunnel along the town’s ancient main thoroughfare, Via Roma, where the majority of factories were built. If it wasn’t for the faint semolina powder rising into the air, you wouldn’t guess this sleepy coastal town was once one of the richest in the region in terms of pasta production. Fresh pasta, a simple blend of wheat flour and water bound together by eggs, is more common in the regions of Piedmont, Lombardy and Veneto, where the dough is pressed through rollers to form tagliatelle or tortellini. Dry pasta, meanwhile, only requires two ingredients: water and durum wheat semolina, which is extruded through traditional bronze dies that provide a coarse texture to the final product, giving the pasta the capacity to soak up more sauce.

Pastificio Di Martino uses 100% durum wheat semolina, mixed with pure spring water from the Forma river to create the pasta. Each shape is bronze die cut, and dried slowly to retain the starch and protein content – giving it a distinctive pale colour, great firmness and rough texture. ACCORDING TO THE SURGEON GENERAL, WOMEN SHOULD NOT DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES DURING PREGNANCY BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF BIRTH DEFECTS. Pastificio Di Martino is based in the city of Gragnano, just south of Mount Vesuvius, renowned for its pasta-making history.
