Lumachine (literally: snail shells) is a charming, small and curved type of pasta that is subtly pinched on one side. This ingenious, shell-like design acts as a natural spoon: sauces, peas, lentils or small pieces of vegetables slide in easily and stay perfectly in the hollow chamber. This makes Lumachine the absolute favourite for rich vegetable soups, flavourful pasta salads and refined, liquid sauces where each individual bite must be a true explosion of flavour.
With this Lumachine, you bring home 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% durum wheat of superior quality, which is entirely cultivated under our own management on the sun-drenched fields in 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 moulds (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 just 9 minutes.
