{"product_id":"rustichella-d-abruzzo-orzo-500-g","title":"Rustichella d’Abruzzo - Orzo - 500 g","description":"\u003cp\u003eOrzo, meaning \"barley\" in Italian, is so named because of its grain-like shape, but some say that it more closely resembles large grains of rice or melon seeds. No matter how you look at it, Orzo is a quick and versatile pastina (little pasta). Made with high quality semolina, Rustichella d'Abruzzo Orzo resists mushiness, keeping its shape and pleasurable texture through cooking. Use it in soup, as the Italians do, make a Greek-style pasta salad with salmon, cherry tomatoes, feta and lemon vinaigrette, or serve as an easy side dish with pesto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRustichella d'Abruzzo has been crafting artisan pasta since 1924 in the town of Penne, Abruzzo, Italy. Founded by Gaetano Sergiacomo and now led by the Peduzzi family, their pasta is made with the finest durum wheat semolina, pure Apennine mountain spring water, bronze dies for a rough sauce-gripping texture, and slow air-drying at low temperatures for up to 56 hours. This is the pasta Dean \u0026amp; DeLuca introduced to America, and it remains one of Italy's most respected artisan pasta lines. We carry it because it represents the absolute standard for what dried pasta should taste like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePairs with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Your favorite sauce, or simply with good olive oil, Parmigiano, and black pepper.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Home cooks who understand that great pasta starts with great ingredients.
