At Het Pasta Gilde, it's about so much more than great taste. Here, premium pasta is crafted by hand, following traditional Italian methods: slow, considered, and with real skill. Top-quality pasta, made from Italian Durum Semolina wheat.

But the finest ingredient? Impact. Het Pasta Gilde is a non-profit organisation that produces high-quality pasta for both the regular market and de Voedselbanken Nederland. By selling premium pasta to those who can and want to pay for it, they make that same quality available to families who truly need it. Every pack sold means another one goes to the Food Bank!

Caserecce Pasta Slow Dried

Het Pasta Gilde dries its pasta slowly at low temperatures. This artisan process brings some clear quality benefits:

• The flour retains its full, natural flavour
• Low drying temperatures prevent burning and loss of flavour
• Slowly dried pasta is easier to digest
• Starch is released gradually during cooking, which shortens cooking time and produces ideal pasta water for sauces
• Vitamins and nutritional values are optimally preserved
• More than 10% fibre
• 100% vegan
  

Good to know

Because the fibres remain intact during the slow drying process, the pasta returns to its original, undried form once cooked. The size and thickness of the pasta increases by 100% up to 200%.

Add to that the high nutritional value, and it's clear:

Use half the amount per portion compared to regular industrial pasta!
