## Overview

De Cecco Acini Di Pepe No. 78 is an authentic Italian pasta made from premium semolina and durum wheat. Slow bronze-dried since 1886, it boasts a rough texture that perfectly holds sauces and delivers a firm, al dente bite. Ideal for soups and versatile recipes, this 16 oz pack brings traditional Italian craftsmanship to your kitchen, favored by food enthusiasts seeking genuine flavor and quality.

## Description

De Cecco gently grinds the heart of each grain, mixes it with cold spring water, then kneads the dough slowly. This results in pasta with the exceptional de Cecco aroma, flavor, and consistency. Pasta easily cooks to perfection, has a great firm texture, and a delicious “fresh” pasta taste. It has a rougher surface, which helps the sauce stick to it. Since 1886 we have liked our pasta to be bronze drawn and slowly dried because we like it to fall into the plate full of taste, rough and always "al dente". Even though our taste has not changed, as we feel the same love for tradition, we have continued to improve our production technologies. Make de Cecco pasta the secret ingredient for your most amazing dishes.Buon Appetito! Acini di Pepe (peppercorns) belong to the minute pasta family to be cooked in broth. This pasta shape was undoubtedly invented to stimulate the imagination of children who commonly eat this pasta in baby food and vegetable soups. It is shaped like peppercorns and is fun and appealing. It is especially good for preparing clear soups such as broths or consommé, enhanced with croutons or vegetables cut in julienne strips. This pasta can be used in thick creamy or velvety soups. Available in 16.0 oz pack.

Review: Fantastic Find - It's so hard to find Acini De Pepe in grocery stores these days and I can't always get to a proper Italian Importer. Thank you so much for offering this. I sure miss the convenience of NYC where this was everywhere and I didn't have to seek it out, but am so glad desertcart is carrying this quality brand. Beautiful texture and perfect size. I've made Pastina twice already. Yummy. Thank You.
