Bronze wire-drawing

Drawing: a fundamental process in the production of high quality pasta.

This particular method, which dates back centuries, is still considered the best for pasta making.

Bronze wire-drawing refers to the process in which the dough, composed of water and semolina, is extruded or passed through a die called a matrix or more commonly ‘trafila’. This die is made up of holes inserted in bronze that give the pasta its specific, rough shape.

THE BRONZE

Heart of our pasta

Why do we produce bronze-drawn pasta?

Roughness and porosity: when pasta is bronze drawn, the surface of the pasta is rough and porous, allowing for greater absorption of the sauce.

Shape and consistency: bronze wire-drawing produces a perfectly shaped and consistent pasta.

Extruded pasta holds better

Bronze wire-drawing allows BRUNDU pasta to retain the sauce better, making each bite tastier and more flavourful.

Shape is quality

We consider it very important to create a perfect and consistent shape for BRUNDU pasta because an irregular shape compromises the quality of our finished product.

The ancient in the modern

Despite the advent of more modern and faster production methods, bronze wire drawing remains our preferred ancient method of pasta production.

Best properties

Bronze drawing preserves the nutritional properties of our wheat, allowing the pasta to retain all the value and taste of the wheat grain when cooked.

Bronze and Pasta

An Ancient and Tasty Link

The centuries-old art of bronze wire drawing and its impact on the quality and flavour of BRUNDU pasta.

Bronze wire drawing is a process that has deep roots in the Italian culinary tradition. This method of pasta production dates back centuries, when the first pasta makers discovered that the use of bronze for drawing gave the pasta a superior quality compared to other materials. As a result, bronze-drawn pasta is rich in nutrients and has a fuller, more robust flavour than pasta made by modern methods. This is a tribute to the wisdom and skill of the first pasta makers, who discovered a production method that still stands the test of time.
