Under the flag of Kelvini Italian Artisan we bring the authentic food culture and pure craftsmanship of Southern Italy directly to your kitchen table. Derived from the Italian verb tagliare ('to cut'), Tagliatelle represents one of the most elegant shapes in Italian tradition. Although its origins are historically in the north, the processing of robust Southern Italian wheat gives unparalleled strength and character to this classic flat ribbon.
Made from 100% homegrown durum wheat and slowly dried for hours at low temperature, this pasta retains all the nutty aromas of the grain. The traditional process of pressing through bronze moulds (trafilata al bronzo) gives the outer wall a powdery, rough texture. Sauces do not slide off but are directly absorbed by the porous dough.
The Art of Shape: Why Tagliatelle Shines in Elegance
The thoughtful, wide ribbon design offers specific culinary advantages in the kitchen:
Wide Load-Bearing Capacity:
The generous, flat shape creates a large surface area where coarse ingredients such as minced meat, mushrooms, and stews effortlessly cling.
Velvety Bite:
Despite their wide shape, the ribbons maintain an exceptionally firm, resilient al dente structure that does not overcook easily.
Porous Bronze-Drawn:
The rough walls firmly grip rich sauces, emulsions and melted cheeses for a full flavour experience with every bite.
At the Table: For Which Dishes Do You Use Tagliatelle?
Thanks to its wide, flat profile, Tagliatelle is the undisputed favourite for rich, hearty and meaty sauces:
Tagliatelle with Bolognese Sauce:
The only true classic combination. The meaty sauce clings perfectly to the wide ribbon.
An autumnal delight with sautéed porcini (porcini), garlic, parsley and a hint of fresh truffle or cream.
Slow-Cooked Game or Veal Ragù:
Slow-cooked stew that falls apart into fine strands and beautifully wraps around the pasta ribbons.
Creamy Salmon or Prawn Sauce:
A refined combination where the wide ribbons effortlessly carry the creamy emulsion and seafood.
