Paccheri is one of the most iconic and impressive types of pasta from the traditional Neapolitan cuisine. This large, wide, and smooth tube pasta owes its name to the Italian word pacchero (which means 'friendly slap'), due to the characteristic, juicy sound that the pasta makes when mixed with the sauce on the plate. Because of its generous size and wide, open cavity, this is the ultimate pasta for the most luxurious dishes. It is therefore perfect for heavy, slow-cooked meat sauces, rich seafood creations with garlic and tomato, or to be generously filled with ricotta and spinach for a refined casserole.
With this Paccheri, 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 through bronze molds (trafilata al bronzo) 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.
