Croxetti Pasta

Eat a piece of history. Discs of pasta hand stamped as in medieval times when noble Ligurian families displayed their coat of arms for status even at the dinner table! Wonderful conversation food at the table.

La Storia of: Croxetti Hand Stamped Pasta

Made in:Liguria

One of Italy's rarest pasta. Thin sheets of pasta are pressed between engraved wooden moulds to create disc shaped pasta with fanciful images. In medieval times the images were taken from the coat of arms of noble Ligurian families and the Christian cross or "croxetti".

Lighter sauces made with fresh herbs, olive oil and butter or pesto go well with this pasta and showcase the designs on the thin discs.
