Description
The products of the Antico Pastificio Morelli are one of a kind. The secret is an ingredient that is not found in common pastas. It is the wheat germ, which constitutes the heart of the grain, and contains vitamins and vegetable proteins. Normally, during the milling of the cereal, the wheat germ is excluded from the semolina to reduce its perishability. Large industries are forced to process flours without wheat germ, but the artisanal workmanship of Antico Pastificio Morelli allows the wheat germ, always fresh, to be reinserted into the semolina. After years of using wheat germ, Antico Pastificio Morelli has managed to obtain a pasta with an extraordinary and unmistakable flavour. During cooking it releases an intense aroma of wheat and the water turns slightly green due to the presence of the fresh germ. Morelli pasta is considered of the highest quality not only because it contains wheat germ, but also because it is made with the best durum wheat semolina which is processed using entirely artisanal techniques. The machines press the dough slowly. After being spread by hand on the frames, the drying takes place in cells where the pasta remains drying for 36 hours at a low temperature (max 45°/50° C). In this way all the organoleptic and nutritional characteristics of the product are maintained. The Antico Pastificio Morelli, founded in 1860, is a family-run company. After five generations, today the Morelli brothers, Lucia, Antonio and Marco, are carrying on the family tradition. The pasta factory produces many specialities, processing simple products with ancient artisan techniques, avoiding the use of preservatives and colorings. The result is a healthy, genuine pasta with a rich flavor and full-bodied consistency.
