Pastificio Fiorillo Ventagli Pasta 500g

Pastificio Fiorillo Ventagli Pasta 500g. Pastificio Fiorillo Ventagli is an artisan Calabrian pasta made from 100% durum wheat semolina and water, crafted using traditional bronze-drawing and slow-drying methods. This gives it a rough, slightly porous surface designed to hold sauces effectively while maintaining a firm, satisfying al dente bite.

“Ventagli” means “fans” in Italian, and the shape reflects this name: small, folded, fan-like pieces of pasta with ridged surfaces and curved edges. This structure creates multiple layers and folds that trap sauce, making each bite rich and well-coated.

Ventagli has a firm, chewy texture with a clean wheat flavour. Its folded, ridged shape creates a mix of crisp edges and soft pockets, giving it a more complex mouthfeel than simple tubular or strand pastas. The bronze-cut surface helps sauces cling evenly across each fold.

This is a more textural, sauce-catching pasta shape compared to long ribbons or tubes. The folded “fan” structure is designed for rustic, hearty sauces where you want every piece to carry both flavour and body, making it a strong choice for traditional southern Italian-style cooking.
