Pastificio Di Martino Pasta
One of our favorite products in our store have definitely got to be our specialty imported pastas. You will find brands from all over different regions of Italy. Pastifico Di Martino pastas are always a perfect choice if you’re looking for a deliciously handcrafted homemade pasta.
Members of the di Martino family have owned and run the factory since 1912 and pasta has been a huge part of their family history.
Their pasta is a high quality bronze died pasta dried at a low temperature, produced according to the traditional method used in Gragnano and made with the purest local spring waters, combined with the best national durum and semolina.
Gragnano pasta is characterized by its coarse appearance, typical of bronze die extrusion and when cooked has a firm and elastic consistency, with excellent texture. These pastas have the PGI mark – a seal that represents the first European Community quality endorsement assigned to pasta in Italy.
All of these delicious imported Italian pastas and products can be found in our new Italian Section!
