Pastificio Faella's Tortiglioni di Gragnano PGI have been representing the excellence of Campania's pasta-making tradition since 1907. This short, tubular pasta shape is distinguished by the characteristic spiral grooves that envelop the outer surface, created by bronze drawing, which gives it the roughness and porosity ideal for holding any type of sauce.

Production follows the strict PGI regulations for Pasta di Gragnano, using only carefully selected 100% Italian durum wheat semolina and pure water from the Lattari Mountains of Gragnano. The dough is kneaded slowly and dried at extremely low temperatures (maximum 48°C) to preserve the grain's organoleptic properties, ensuring perfect consistency, intense aroma, and authentic flavor.

The name "tortiglione" derives from the Latin "tortillare" (to wrap), a clear reference to the characteristic twisted shape that differentiates this pasta from common rigatoni. The spacious interior and ridged exterior make Tortiglioni perfect for rich sauces like Neapolitan ragù, thick cream sauces, baked gratins, and the classic arrabbiata sauce.

Pastificio Faella, a historic family business now in its third generation, keeps alive the artisanal techniques passed down by founder Gaetano Faella, awarded the title of "Official Supplier to the Household of HRH the Prince of Piedmont" in 1941. Each package is made of fully recyclable porcelain paper (Aticelca® 501 certification), a testament to its commitment to sustainability and environmental protection.
