Since 1886, it has delivered consistent al dente perfection and authentic taste, making it a top choice for millennial professionals seeking restaurant-quality pasta at home. ## Description De Cecco gently grinds the heart of each grain, mixes it with cold spring water, then kneads the dough slowly. This results in pasta with the exceptional de Cecco aroma, flavor, and consistency. Pasta easily cooks to perfection, has a great firm texture, and a delicious “fresh” pasta taste. It has a rougher surface, which helps the sauce stick to it. Since 1886 we have liked our pasta to be bronze drawn and slowly dried because we like it to fall into the plate full of taste, rough and always "al dente". Even though our taste has not changed, as we feel the same love for tradition, we have continued to improve our production technologies. Make de Cecco pasta the secret ingredient for your most amazing dishes. Buon Appetito! Fusilli come from Campania and belong to the short, straight cut family of pasta. Review: Made in Italy, so no GMO ingredients. - I love this product SO much! When I don’t have time to make pasta from scratch, I want a good quality pasta that doesn’t contain ingredients I can’t understand. This is my dried pasta of choice. It does not contain eggs, which is great for folks allergic to eggs. The dried pasta has a texture unlike other brands. Other brands have a smooth texture to their dried pastas, which sauce slides right off of when cooked. I find sauce sticks to De Cecco pastas much better. De Cecco is made in Italy, which means it will not contain any GMO ingredients. It is a healthier choice. I find that I eat less and remain full longer with this pasta. It’s delicious!
