Review of A.G. Ferrari Orecchiette ("little ears") from Puglia

I recently visited Italy (Tuscany) and tried orecchiette pasta for the very first time. Upon my return home, I ordered this wonderful pasta and each time I feast on this "deliciosa" A.G. Ferrari Orecchiette from Puglia, it takes me back to Tuscany. I've shared this pasta with friends and family and we all agree that it's "BELLISIMO!" With a little red, white and green ribbon and photo card from Tuscany attached to the pasta bag, it's a perfect "Italian" stocking stuffer/holiday gift for friends at the office!Buon Anno!

Product Description:
Paul Ferrari spent nearly two years search for artisan Italian pasta worthy of the A.G. Ferrari Foods name. Today we work with a small pastificio outside Alberobello to craft three pasta cuts typical to Puglia. Orecchiette are rustic "little ears" and perfect for chunky vegetable- and meat-based sauces. What makes this pasta unique?


It is made with custom-blended Italian durum wheat semolina.


It is noticeably different in taste and texture than most widely available brands.


Bronze dies used in the production process produce a rough-textured cut. As a result, sauce clings better to this pasta than to most commercial brands, which are made with Teflon dies.


This pasta plumps to nearly twice its volume when cooked.


Cooking time: up to 20 minutes.
