Via dei Pastifici 3, Lari, Pisa, Tuscany, ItalyFusilli Martelli is a premium artisanal pasta produced by the Martelli family in Lari, Tuscany. This pasta is crafted using traditional methods, including bronze die extrusion, which imparts a rough texture ideal for holding sauces. The pasta is then slowly air-dried at low temperatures to preserve its flavor and nutritional value.
The unique spiral shape of Fusilli Martelli is inspired by the helical staircase of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, featuring seven loops that mirror the tower's design. This distinctive form not only adds visual appeal but also enhances the pasta's ability to capture and retain sauces, making it a versatile choice for various dishes.
About Pastificio Famiglia Martelli
Pastificio Famiglia Martelli is a traditional artisan pasta factory located in the medieval village of Lari, near Pisa, Tuscany. Established in 1926, it remains a family-run business where only eight members of the Martelli family manage the entire production process.
The pasta is crafted using 100% Italian durum wheat semolina, mixed with cold water. The dough is extruded through bronze dies, giving the pasta a rough texture that helps sauces adhere better. It is then air-dried at low temperatures for about 50 hours, preserving its nutritional value and ensuring a firm, flavorful product.
Martelli produces classic pasta shapes, including Spaghetti, Spaghettini, Penne Classiche, Maccheroni di Toscana, and Fusilli di Pisa. Their commitment to traditional methods and high-quality ingredients has earned them recognition among pasta enthusiasts worldwide.
