Verrigni Spaghetti Nerro 075

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

All natural, like all of Verrigni’s pastas, the Spaghetti Nerro is made with 100% Italian durum wheat semolina, and real cuttlefish ink. Long ribbons of the most gorgeous ebony color, and made with natural flavors. Its taste is rich and briny, with salty hints of the sea.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

The Verrigni Spaghetti Nerro is the perfect pasta for seafood dishes. Try it with clams or mussels in a white wine sauce, or tomato-based shrimp sauce.

FROM ROSBURGO TO THE WORLD

Luigi Verrigni founded Antico Pastificio Rosetano in 1898. He supplied fine artisan pasta to noble families in Rosburgo, and thus, the quality of his pastas was already known. His pastas were made with grains ground with stone millstones, then mixed with Gran Sasso water, and dried on bamboo canes. The demand for Verrigni pastas got so big that Luigi’s son, Gaetano, experimented with “dressing rooms,” where he put current fans and other heat sources to create a steady temperature for the pasts drying.

Through the years, Verrigni Pasta has expanded its distribution, introduced the innovative gold die, and in the 1980s, was one of the few pasta factories to sell organic pasta. This made them even more popular. They continue with the innovation, and pushing the boundaries, and trying new things. Verrigni continues to make superior quality pasta, with all the craftsmanship of tradition, and the beauty of technology.
