Tirrena’s Spaghetti No. 5 is an ode to Italian purity—simple ingredients elevated through patience and place. Made exclusively from ancient wheat varieties Senatore Cappelli, Khorasan, and Evoldur, cultivated in Tuscany’s mineral-rich soils and tempered by Tyrrhenian breezes, this pasta embodies a harmony of flavor and nutrition. Bronze-die shaping lends a gentle roughness, allowing sauces to cling naturally, while the 144-hour slow drying process protects the grain’s integrity and aroma. On the palate, it reveals notes of toasted wheat, warm earth, and soft nuttiness, balanced by a clean finish and satisfying al dente bite. Rich in fiber, protein, and polyphenols, it offers not just taste but nourishment—a mindful indulgence crafted with heritage and heart.
Elegant Simplicity: Dress with Laudemio Frescobaldi Olive Oil, sea salt, and cracked pepper for a pure expression of the grain.
Tuscan Classic: Pair with Sigillo Platino Balsamic and shaved Parmigiano for timeless balance.
Sea and Sun: Combine with garlic, chili, and fresh prawns for a coastal touch.
Comfort and Warmth: Enjoy with tomato-basil sauce, cacio e pepe, or lemon butter for familiar Italian comfort. Cook al dente to honor its texture and savor the slow craft behind every strand.
Tirrena is the Frescobaldi family’s tribute to Tuscany’s agricultural soul. On their estates southwest of Florence, ancient grains thrive where cool soils meet the salt-tinged air of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Each batch of Tirrena pasta is 100% Tuscan—from grain to mill to shaping—a cycle of care that embodies true farm-to-table artistry. Through bronze-die extrusion and an exacting 144-hour drying process, every piece becomes a quiet masterpiece of time, texture, and tradition. The result is pasta that nourishes body and spirit alike—a taste of Tuscany’s enduring grace.
