Vallillo Single Estate Fusilli: One-Farm One Mill, Better Results
$ 23.98
One Farm, One Mill, Better Results
Most pasta is produced by mixing wheat from different countries to lower costs. Vallillo does not do that. This Fusilli comes from one farm in Puglia. They grow the wheat, mill it into flour, and make the pasta right on the property. Because they control the harvest, the wheat is naturally higher in protein. This provides a firm bite that does not get mushy or fall apart in boiling water.

Why the Surface is Rough
If you touch this pasta, it feels like fine sandpaper. We use traditional bronze tools to shape it, which leaves the surface rough and porous. Cheap, mass-market pasta is usually shiny and smooth, which makes the sauce slide right off to the bottom of the bowl. This rough texture acts like a sponge, grabbing the sauce so every bite is coated.
Is this a 2-pack?
Yes. This listing includes two separate 500g bags for a total of 1kg of pasta.
Why is the cooking time longer?
Better wheat takes longer to cook. Because this durum wheat is so dense, it holds its shape and stays al dente even if it sits in the sauce for a few extra minutes.
Is it clean from chemicals?
Yes. Because the farm is monitored and geolocated, every batch is lab-tested to be free of glyphosate and other harsh chemicals common in mass-produced grain.
