Frequently Asked Questions
What makes De Cecco pasta special?
De Cecco pasta is renowned for its high-quality durum wheat semolina, bronze-die cutting for better sauce grip, and slow-drying process that enhances flavour and texture. This results in an authentic al dente bite that's hard to find in mass-produced alternatives.
How should I cook De Cecco pasta?
Boil in plenty of salted water – about 100g per person uses 1 litre. Stellette and Capelli d'Angelo cook in 4-7 minutes, Pappardelle in 9-11. Drain al dente and toss immediately with sauce to let the rough texture shine.
Is De Cecco pasta suitable for all diets?
It's made from durum wheat, so not gluten-free, but vegetarian and free from artificial preservatives. Check labels for allergens; ideal for those seeking premium, traditional Italian carbs.
How do I store De Cecco pasta after opening?
Keep unopened packs in a cool, dry cupboard. Once opened, store in an airtight container to prevent moisture and maintain freshness for up to a year.
