Pasta Mista (literally: mixed pasta) is a deeply rooted classic from the rich Neapolitan culinary tradition. Originally, this unique type emerged in Southern Italy through the clever and sustainable collection of leftover broken pasta shapes at the end of the production day. Today, it is a deliberately and harmoniously composed mix of different short and broken pasta shapes. It is precisely because of the fascinating variation in textures, shapes, and thicknesses that Pasta Mista is the absolute number one choice for traditional, comforting Italian dishes. It is the ultimate base for classics such as pasta e fagioli (pasta soup with beans), pasta e patate (with potato and smoked provola) or rich, thick lentil and chickpea soups where each bite offers a new texture.
With this Pasta Mista, 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, all the different shapes in the mix retain their characteristic rough texture. This ensures maximum sauce absorption and a wonderfully varied, firm al dente bite after a cooking time of 11 minutes.
