Pastificio Fiorillo Trofie Pasta 500g

Pastificio Fiorillo Trofie Pasta 500g. Pastificio Fiorillo Trofie is a traditional artisan pasta from Calabria, inspired by the classic Ligurian shape known for its short, tightly twisted form. Made from 100% durum wheat semolina and water, it is bronze-drawn and slowly dried, giving it a rough surface and firm texture that holds sauces exceptionally well.

Trofie are small, irregular spiral-shaped pieces of pasta, traditionally hand-rolled, which create natural grooves and curves that grip sauce rather than letting it slide off. This makes them especially suited to simple, oil-based or herb-heavy sauces where the pasta itself plays a central role.

The pasta has a firm, slightly chewy bite with a clean, wheat-forward flavour. Its irregular spiral shape creates varied texture in each piece, giving a more rustic and handmade eating experience compared to smooth industrial pasta.

This is a rustic, highly traditional pasta shape designed to carry sauces through texture rather than volume. Its tight twists and rough bronze-cut surface make it particularly good for pesto and other emulsified sauces where cling and balance are essential.
