  • To find the best pasta, you need to know how much furosine is inside, the drying temperature and the drying time. Those three factors are important! Have any questions? Drop them in the comments!

      Bronze die extruded? What does that mean?

    • @evanlegere4154
      @evanlegere4154 2 дні тому +1

      ⁠@@jeangove01when the dough is extruded through the machine to make the shapes (watch videos of this if you’ve never seen it) its put through a bronze cast which gives the pasta a very fine, rough texture from being extruded slower and under the right conditions. If you had it side by side with “conventional” pasta, the difference would be clear as day.

    Thank you for such an informative video on pasta! All of these years as an Italo-Canadese and a self proclaimed foodie, I did not know the very important tips that you have shared. I have recently discovered a most delicious pasta brand called Rustichella d’Abruzzo and I just checked the package. It says ‘essiccata lentamente a bassa temperatura’. I did not notice this until I saw your video. No wonder it is so delicious. Thank you Alessio for your educational video!

      Perfect! remember that even if they write it, it doesn't necessarily mean it's true! they should write the temperature, if the pasta has an ivory color then it is low temperature the more the ivory white color the better! however even if it is not perfect it is better than other brands with a yellow color full of furosine

    Great video! Very good content!
    Afeltra is my favorite Italian pasta brand. It's made in the Gragnano region. There is a Premium version of the Alfetra pasta. It's made with Grano Italiano, and comes in a navy blue packaging. I mentioned this in my comments in one of your previous videos. It's extruded in bronze dies, and very slowly dehydrated. It takes longer to cook, but the consumer will be rewarded for his/her patience. There are several other, very good, pasta manufacturers from Gragnano.

    • @gobbidimerda1
      @gobbidimerda1 Рік тому

      Yes that blue navy version is absolutely top level, I'm italian and I can confirm that. I can't imagine the prize of that package in NY, it costs something like 3 euros half a kilo here and for Italy is a very expensive prize for half a kilo of pasta.

    Exactly!!!
    Look on the package and see whether the words "calore basso" appear. Also, brands like Mono Grano and Benedetto Cavalieri are made by extruding the semolina through brass dies. Bulk brands like Barilla extrude through teflon-coated dies.
    If someone is willing, investing in a home version of a mechanical extruder or even a manual "torchio" with a few different dies, will result in excellent homemade pasta of various shapes. I use the "Bottene Lillo Due."

    You see, we went to China for a wedding and vacation afterwards, ate authentic Chinese food, discovered that the Chinese Restaurants here are not authentic after eating there. 100% difference in taste but I did find a small authentic Chinese restaurant here.

    My rule of thumb for this in the US is to first look if it is advertised as bronze die cut, and then double-check the coloration. I've found the majority of the bronze cut pasta is the higher quality lighter colored stuff, and from there you can see if there's any additional info on the packaging. Over the last few years I've noticed there's a lot more easily accessible higher quality pasta for reasonable prices on most supermarket shelves.

The most common "premium" Italian pasta brand in US supermarkets, that you also mentioned, advertises the slow drying process they follow, but it turns out it's only 9 hours for their regular pasta. They do offer also 18 and 36 hours dried pasta, but I'm not sure I've seen in any large stores. As for the temperature, they mention that other manufacturers dry their pasta at too high temperature (over 75C), but I couldn't find at which temperature they dry theirs (other than a generic "low temperature")
