Ziti Tagliati (sliced ziti) is an absolute classic from the Southern Italian culinary tradition, particularly in Campania and Naples.
Originally, the long, smooth ziti tubes were broken by hand into pieces for festive family occasions, such as traditional Sunday lunches or weddings – where the name ziti, meaning 'betrothed', comes from. This 'tagliati' variant offers the convenience of the perfectly pre-cut length. Thanks to the smooth texture and hollow interior, this shape is particularly suitable for hearty, slowly simmered sauces that beautifully fill the tubes. Ziti Tagliati is the undisputed star in the authentic Neapolitan ragù and is also sublime for rich, golden-brown gratin dishes (ziti al forno) with melted mozzarella and spicy meatballs.
With this Ziti Tagliati, 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 (17g per 100g) 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 superior structure. This ensures maximum sauce absorption and an unparalleled al dente bite after a cooking time of 12 minutes.
