Use of high particle size to preserve the wholeness of the gluten;
Kneaded with cold water (under 15°C), that assures a sweeter taste and a better firmness during cooking;
Coarse bronze drawing, to give pasta the ideal roughness that makes it adhere perfectly to sauces.
Fibre is an important part of a well balanced diet, and it contributes to daily wellbeing as it is extremely healthy for the body. De Cecco Whole wheat pasta is made according to the traditional processing rules. From the simple milling of the best durum wheat, which in our Mill becomes valuable coarse-grain whole wheat semolina, mixed exclusively with pure water from the De Cecco spring, to the drawing through bronze dies to obtain a rough surface, and lastly to the slow drying at low temperatures to give you a product with a genuine taste that is naturally rich in fibre.

Historically, official mention of the term "spaghetto" can be traced back to the first dictionary of the Italian language by Nicolò Tommaseo and Bernardo Bellini (1819). The word "spaghetto" was included as the "masculine singular diminutive of spago (thread)" and mention is made of "Minestra di Spaghetti" (spaghetti soup) which is pasta the size of a long, thin thread such as sopracapellini (type of spaghetti)". An interesting fact: in 1957, the BBC aired the first documentary on the production of spaghetti and the day after, the television studios were inundated by phone calls from viewers asking for the name of the producers and distributors of spaghetti so they could buy some. Spaghetti is so versatile that it can be served with any condiment, from fish to meat, from vegetables to cheese, but is also excellent served just with extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkling of parmesan. Available in 500g pack.
