Dieticians acknowledge the importance of carbohydrates in the diet.

Pasta, in all its myriad forms, is the unifying link in Italian cuisine. The finest of Italian pasta is made from durum wheat that has become synonymous with flavor, quality, goodness, nutritional value, and a tremendous source of energy. The high-quality durum wheat used for Mantova Organic Pasta is grown in the sunny, fertile soil of Apulia in southern Italy, producing grain that is richer in minerals, vitamins and proteins.

Good quality durum wheat pasta, such as Mantova Organic Pasta and Mantova Organic Whole Wheat Pasta, should have a pleasant scent and a golden-yellowish color that is uniform on the inside when broken. The real test, however, is in the cooking. Properly cooked good quality pasta should not break apart in the boiling water and must only slightly whiten the water with starch residue.

To properly cook pasta, bring the water to a boil, add the salt, allow the water to return to the boil (salted water takes longer to boil), and then add the pasta. The temperature of the water will go down when you add the pasta so allow to come back to the boil (covering for a moment helps), stir occasionally, and cook until al dente or 'to the tooth' meaning it should still be firm but chewy (remember the pasta will continue to cook for a bit when removed from the water). Once cooked, the pasta should be strained, sauced, and served. Buon appetito.

Tradition and innovation together.

The Mantova Family began their business in 1905 in Broccostella, about 100 km south of Rome.

In the 1990's, after nearly a century of successful growth in producing quality olive oils, pasta, the family redesigned the strategy and focused on expanding its product range in order to include all the essential elements of fine Italian cuisine.

Compagnia Alimentare Italiana, continues the tradition which began over one hundred years ago with a solid organization which has the flexibility of a smaller company and quality and research capacity of a much larger organization.
