- 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 โfreshโ 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!

Carolyn Anderson –
I exclusively use De Cecco pasta. The taste is great and I never time the boiling; it rarely overcooks since it does take some time. I like having the different shapes and the Gemelli has become impossible to find in stores. I think the shape is perfect for use as a side dish, for soups, and sometimes for sauce, although in that case I generally use the De Cecco spaghetti. It's a medium shape twist but more compact than Fusilli. I found 10 boxes on Amazon. However, they should have enclosed more packing as the outer box was damaged and several pasta boxes were partly crushed – but they weren't a gift.

Was able to find on Amazon. Difficult product to find in stores. Super price. Pasta almost like dumplings.

Gemelli pasta are not as easy to find, but this pasta is incredibly versatile. It holds sauces well on its own, but also adds texture to soups. My new go to pasta.
