Stefano Sbiroli's pasta company in Bari and was started by his grandfather. The family have always insisted on only the best durum wheats grown in the area around Foggiano. The resulting pasta is of the highest quality with a matt surface texture that holds sauces and oil dressings really well. The green tubes are coloured with spinach and the red ones with tomato - all 100% natural. Traditional production processes are employed, involving the laborious kneading, drawing and shaping of the paste through bronze dies, followed by slow drying at a low temperature for up to 48 hours.
