Pasta Tirrena
We are excited to announce three artisan products from the Frescobaldi family. Wine, pasta (Tirrena), and Laudemio extra virgin olive oil (late winter 2026)! All crafted in the estates of the Frescobaldi family, which has been cultivating excellence with creativity and experience, innovation and tradition, for more than 1,000 years.
Pasta Tirrena comes from the best terroir for growing ancient grains, thanks to the symbiosis of cool soils, mild climate and breezes from the Tyrrhenian Sea. The mineral features of the soil, combined with the knowledge of the Frescobaldi family, give this pasta a unique personality.
Natural drying for more than 72, and up to 144, hours preserves the organoleptic qualities of the ancient grains. This guarantees its superior nutritional qualities and high digestibility. The used varieties of grains are: Senatore Cappelli, Khorasan and Evoldur.
The pasta is bronze drawn and then slowly dried in static cells (from 72 to 144 hours) at temperatures below 38°C to preserve its organoleptic qualities. Typical grocery store pasta is dried for 3, yes 3 hours. This gives the pasta, in addition to its hazelnut color, high digestibility and an extraordinary ability to absorb seasonings. This type of processing makes Tirrena a unique pasta that smells of wheat.
