Pastificio Fratelli Setaro Pappardelle 1kg

Pastificio Fratelli Setaro Pappardelle 1kg. Pastificio Fratelli Setaro Pappardelle is a premium artisan pasta produced in Torre Annunziata, near Naples, using traditional methods that have distinguished the Setaro family since 1939. Crafted from high-quality Italian durum wheat semolina, the pasta is bronze-die extruded and slowly air-dried, creating a rough, porous surface that allows sauces to cling beautifully while delivering an exceptional al dente texture.

Pappardelle is one of Italy's most celebrated ribbon pastas, characterised by its broad, flat strands. Setaro's 1kg format features generous ribbons designed to showcase rich and hearty sauces, making it a favourite for traditional ragùs, wild mushroom dishes, slow-cooked meats, and robust tomato-based preparations. The wide surface area captures sauce exceptionally well, ensuring full flavour in every bite.

Like all Setaro pasta, the pappardelle is produced using bronze dies (trafila al bronzo), which give the pasta its distinctive rough texture. Slow drying at low temperatures preserves the wheat's natural flavour and helps maintain the pasta's structure during cooking. This artisanal process results in a pasta that is both firm and tender, with outstanding sauce absorption and a satisfying mouthfeel.

The 1kg pack is ideal for family gatherings, entertaining, or professional kitchens. Pappardelle is traditionally paired with game meats such as wild boar, venison, or hare, but it is equally delicious with porcini mushrooms, slow-braised beef, duck ragù, or creamy truffle sauces.
