Under the banner of Kelvini Italian Artisan, we bring the authentic dining culture and pure craftsmanship of Southern Italy directly to your kitchen table. Those who think that wholemeal pasta compromises on texture or flavour have yet to taste our Wholemeal Maccheroncini (Wholemeal Maccheroncini). While industrial wholemeal pastas often feel dry or grainy, the master pasta makers from Campania elevate these compact pasta tubes to a high culinary level.
Made from 100% Italian wholemeal durum wheat, you can taste the true soul of the grain. Thanks to the retention of the bran and germ, the pasta has a full, nutty depth. This wholemeal variant is also pressed through traditional bronze moulds (trafilata al bronzo). This results in a matte, rough texture that allows extra virgin olive oil and sauces to adhere perfectly to the tubes.
The Art of Shape: Why Wholemeal Maccheroncini Shines in Simplicity
The thoughtful, shorter size of these hollow tubes offers unique advantages in the kitchen:
Honest Wholemeal Flavour: The rich grain flavour provides a wonderful foundation that enhances both fresh and robust, earthy sauces.
Porous Bronze-Drawn: The rough walls grip light sauces and herb oils, ensuring that every bite is rich in flavour.
Slow Drying: The slow drying process at low temperature preserves the wholemeal pasta's firm backbone and a sublime al dente bite without becoming mushy.
At the Table: For Which Dishes Do You Use Wholemeal Maccheroncini?
Thanks to the compact, hollow shape and the full grain flavour, these wholemeal maccheroncini are widely applicable:
Mushrooms and Herb Oil: An autumnal sauce with sautéed wild mushrooms, fresh thyme, and a generous splash of extra virgin olive oil.
Roasted Vegetables from the Oven: Pumpkin, courgette, and bell pepper roasted with garlic and rosemary, gently mixed with some cooking liquid and Pecorino Romano.
Mediterranean Tuna Sauce: A robust pasta salad or warm dish with sustainable tuna, capers, black olives, and fresh parsley.
Pesto di Pistacchio: A surprising combination with a creamy pistachio and basil pesto that beautifully contrasts with the nutty flavour of the wholemeal grain.
