De Cecco Calamarata No. 129 is a special pasta shape inspired by Neapolitan tradition, resembling squid rings in form. Thanks to its generous thickness and bronze-die drawing, this pasta offers a meaty texture and a rough surface, ideal for holding rich and succulent sauces. It is the shape of choice for seafood preparations, particularly with mollusks and shellfish, but it also pairs beautifully with vegetable ragù or hearty sauces. Made with the highest quality durum wheat semolina, De Cecco Calamarata perfectly maintains its shape during cooking, ensuring a gourmet experience right at home. The 12-piece 500g pack is designed for those who desire a prestigious shape for elegant dinners and fine-dining convivial moments.

History

Since 1886, De Cecco has been the ambassador of superior quality pasta worldwide. Founded in Fara San Martino, the company has followed the rigorous "De Cecco Method" for over a century: selecting the finest durum wheat, kneading with cold water from the Majella springs, and bronze-die drawing for ideal porosity. The secret of De Cecco's excellence lies primarily in the very slow drying at low temperatures, an artisanal process that preserves the natural color, aroma, and organoleptic properties of the wheat. Choosing De Cecco means bringing to the table a centuries-old tradition that celebrates authentic Made in Italy taste and a passion for "al dente" perfection.
