Monograno Felicetti Matt Spaghetti Pasta

Spaghetti, the most popular pasta shape, is commonly said to account for more than two-thirds of the whole annual consumption of pasta, but it is not the oldest. To achieve the spaghetti shape, an extruder and machinery were not introduced until the late 19th century. The term "spaghetti" in Italian translates as "thin cords."

Matt, a strong and rich variety of durum wheat, is at its best when farmed in Puglia and Sicily. During cooking, it releases scents of hay, desiccated coconut, and a hint of stretched mozzarella. Since 1908, the same family, with the same values, has been working passionately in the beautiful landscape of the Dolomites.

Monograno Felicetti, a family-owned pasta company, commits to using only 100% spring water, directly from the mountains in their region, and their semolina and wheat flour is 100% organic and whole. The pasta is known for its versatility, pairing well with tomato sauce, clams, or carbonara, and its taste profile of bread, butter, and bamboo shoots.

Matt, a Single Modern Heritage grain durum wheat, is carefully sourced and selected by Felicetti from farms. The company has been working with its farmers for generations, contract-growing Matt wheat, storing it at the mill in dedicated silos, and calling for grinding into semolina flour within 24 hours of production. Felicetti then marries the flour with its artisanal pasta-making skills, alpine water, and clean mountain air.

Felicetti's four generations of artisanal pasta-making have resulted in the perfect al dente pasta, which never overcooks, sticks, or boils over. Used by Michelin-starred restaurants throughout Italy and the world, Monograno Felicetti has a reputation as one of the premier pastas of Italy, known for its flavor and ability to hold "al dente" beyond the cooking time.

Founded in 1908 in the Italian Alps in an area called the Dolomites, Felicetti is now managed by the 4th generation of the family. The family values their history as artisanal pasta makers while preserving the environment.
