Garofalo Organic Whole Wheat Mafalda Pasta - 500g

There are two versions of the origin of this shape's name: the first one refers to a pasta maker who drew his inspiration from the long and wavy hair of a young lady named Mafalda. The second version is the most reliable: the name of this shape is in honor of the Queen Mafalda di Savoia (in fact this pasta is also called “reginette”, “little queen").Premium Italian pasta maker Garofalo has been making high quality pasta since 1789 in Gragnano near Naples, the birth place of pasta in Italy.Garofalo has always been a reference point for the high quality of its product and production processes, made now even more effective thanks to the combination of technology and century long artisan know how.Pasta is simply made with water and durum wheat semolina and you can't produce excellent pasta if the best wheat is not used. It is the quality and quantity of gluten present primarily that determines the quality of the wheat. Garofalo uses only high quality robust durum wheat in its signature pasta ranges. Garofalo pasta is formed through a bronze die this method allows a little friction on the surface of the pasta, which becomes slightly rough and porous allowing the sauce to cling and be absorbed into the pasta giving a delightful eating experience!
