Granoro’s Orecchiette pasta is produced from durum wheat semolina, selected based on its protein content, gluten index and color.
Orecchiette are a distinctive Puglian type of pasta- shaped roughly like small ears, hence the name (orecchio, ear, orecchiette, little ears). They’re about 3/4 of an inch across, slightly domed, and their centers are thinner than their rims, a characteristic that gives them an interestingly variable texture; soft in the middle and somewhat chewier outside. They are great for holding any sauce that you would ladle over them.
