Calamarata is a visual and gastronomic masterpiece from the Southern Italian pasta culture, named for its striking resemblance to ring-shaped cuttlefish (calamari).
This wide, smooth tube pasta has a unique, robust shape and a thick wall. In Italian cuisine, this is the ultimate classic for maritime dishes. Traditionally, Calamarata is served with a rich sauce of cuttlefish, garlic, and white wine, with the rings of pasta and cuttlefish subtly intertwining on the plate. However, thanks to its generous, open design, this type of pasta is just as fantastic for thick, creamy sauces, hearty vegetable ragouts, or sauces with soft shellfish; the sauce nestles perfectly in the hollow, sturdy shape with every bite.
With this Calamarata, you bring home the pure, Italian gastronomy that Kelvini has exclusively selected for you. We only bring the very best from the absolute top segment to your kitchen, sourced from a small-scale producer that has been officially awarded in the Gambero Rosso – the prestigious Italian counterpart to the Michelin guide – within the top 100 of the best Italian pasta companies.
The base consists of 100% superior quality durum wheat, which is entirely cultivated under our own management in the sun-drenched fields of the hills of Campania (Km 0) and is kneaded with pure spring water. Because we swear by a purely natural cultivation process, the grain is guaranteed to be 100% free from pesticides and glyphosate. This results in an exceptionally high natural protein content and a deep, full grain flavour. Thanks to the authentic pressing by bronze moulds (bronze drawn) and an extremely patient, slow drying process at low temperature, the pasta retains its characteristic rough texture. This ensures maximum sauce absorption and an unparalleled al dente bite after a cooking time of 17 minutes.
