Mezzi tubetti no. 63

Mezzi Tubetti (smooth half tubes) are a smaller variation of the classic Tubetti and are part of the very short, dry, straight cut, smooth pasta family from southern Italy.

The shape is what gives this pasta its name because it resembles small tubes.

Mezzi Tubetti are recommended for preparing soups with beans or lentils, or vegetable broths.

This pasta is also excellent for preparing very delicate pasta dishes with light tomato and basil sauces.

Selecting the wheat

Selecting excellent primary materials is the first step, the most important one in fact, in creating unique pasta.

The milling

We have been millers for almost two centuries: way back in 1831, Don Nicola De Cecco was already producing “the best flour in the county” in his mill. To this day, we grind all the wheat in our own mill next to the pasta factory, floating with intense and delicious aromas.

The dough

Cold water and dough at a temperature of less than 15 degrees: two details allowing us to produce pasta that fully respects the primary material.

Drawing

While it is the drawing process that gives the pasta its shape, it is the bronze plates that make our pasta uniquely porous, so it captures all the sauce. Hence, this is one of the special procedures we have chosen to preserve and protect. With great pride.

Drying

Another of the secrets behind our pasta is slow drying at low temperature. It is our way of keeping the sensory properties of the wheat intact.
