Gigli

Furthermore, we produce our Gigli pasta using traditional Italian pasta-making techniques. The bronze extrusion process creates a naturally rough and porous surface, allowing sauces to cling to the pasta more effectively than many industrial alternatives.

Gigli belongs to a family of pasta shapes commonly known as Gigli or Campanelle. The shape is traditionally associated with Tuscany, where the lily has long been an important symbol, particularly in Florence.

Today, this versatile pasta is enjoyed throughout Italy and beyond. Whether you prepare a simple weekday meal or a special family gathering, Gigli adapt beautifully to a wide variety of recipes. Its firm texture remains pleasant after cooking, while the flavour of premium durum wheat semolina enhances every dish.

Above all, Gigli pasta brings authentic Italian tradition to your table and transforms simple ingredients into memorable meals.

First, we carefully mix the dough. Next, we bronze-draw it to create the characteristic rough surface and elegant flower-like shape. Finally, we slowly dry the pasta at a low temperature.

This traditional process takes longer than modern industrial methods. However, it helps preserve the natural flavour, colour, and structure of the pasta. As a result, you enjoy superior texture, excellent cooking performance, and authentic taste.

Recommended pairings include:

• Rich meat ragùs
• Mushroom and sausage sauces
• Basil pesto and other herb-based pestos
• Creamy ricotta sauces
• Seasonal Mediterranean vegetable sauces
• Tomato-based sauces
• Seafood sauces
• Baked pasta dishes

For example, Gigli works wonderfully with chunky sauces because its folds help capture pieces of vegetables, cheese, and herbs. Likewise, it complements lighter sauces by providing excellent sauce retention without overpowering delicate flavours.
