Tripoline 500g - Artisanal Italian Bronze-Drawn Pasta from Basilicata | Pasta Alica

Tripoline are the elegance of Italian cuisine. Their long, delicately wavy ribbons capture every drop of sauce, offering a refined, generous, and flavorful bite every time. Made in the heart of Basilicata, Tripoline Pasta Alica embodies all the expertise of the great tradition of Italian artisanal pasta. Made exclusively from 100% Italian durum wheat semolina, sourced from the fertile lands of Basilicata and Tavoliere delle Puglie, they offer exceptional quality from the first bite. The story of Pasta Alica began in the 1920s in Laurenzana, when Grandma Anna opened a small grocery store with two of her thirteen sons. In 1928, this small family business became Michele Crisci, one of the most important food distribution companies in southern Italy. Even today, this family passion guides every step of Alica pasta production. It all starts with the selection of the best Italian durum wheat, naturally rich in protein and gluten. The grains are slowly milled to obtain a superior quality semolina, then worked with pure Lucanian water at a temperature never exceeding 25 °C, thus preserving the nutritional qualities and natural aromas of the wheat. The Tripoline are then bronze-drawn, a traditional method that creates a rough surface allowing sauces to adhere perfectly. They are then slowly dried for almost 48 hours, between 36 °C and 40 °C, to preserve their beautiful amber yellow color, firm texture, and always perfectly al dente cooking. Thanks to their long shape with delicately wavy edges, Tripoline are perfect with homemade tomato sauce, traditional ragù, seafood, mushrooms, grilled vegetables, creamy sauce, or fresh pesto. Their elegant silhouette generously holds every sauce and provides a presentation worthy of the best Italian tables. At Pasta Alica, the cooking time indicated on the package is just a guide. As they like to say: "Pasta is cooked with the heart, not with the clock." ❤️ Why you'll love them ✔ 🇮🇹 Made in Basilicata, Italy ✔ 🌾 100% Italian durum wheat semolina ✔ 🌱 Wheat selected in Basilicata and Tavoliere delle Puglie ✔ 🥉 Bronze-drawn to perfectly hold sauces ✔ 🌡️ Slow drying for almost 48 hours ✔ 💧 Worked with pure Lucanian water at less than 25 °C ✔ 💪 Rich in natural durum wheat proteins ✔ 🍝 Excellent cooking retention ✔ 🍽️ Ideal with tomato sauces, ragù, seafood, mushrooms, grilled vegetables, and creamy sauces ✔ ⏱️ Cooking time: 7 minutes
