Vesuvio, also known as Girelle, is a short cut of pasta with a distinct semi-hollow corkscrew shape. With roots in Campania, Italy, this artisan pasta shape is named for the currently dormant volcano of the region, Mt. Vesuvius. The curly spring shape is excellent for scooping up sauces and chunky ingredients. - Artisan pasta made in Naples, Italy. - Exclusive blend of superior durum wheat with a high gluten content. - Extruded with bronze dies to create a rougher surface that better absorbs and captures sauces. - Unique curly corkscrew shape. - Slowly dried using a static cell drying method that allows wheat to maintain its best flavor, color and texture. - Cooks up al dente: a tender but firm bite with a fleck of white at its center—what we call the pasta’s soul. - Made in a facility free of eggs, peanuts and tree nuts. Vegan.
