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.

wheat

Wheat Selection

We select only the best 'grano duro' (durum wheat) and extract the core, the purest part of the wheat, to retain all the nutritional value and a signature pasta with the distinctive and unique De Cecco taste and the superior cooking performance renowned among all the best Chefs in the world.

water

Cold Spring Natural Water

We knead our semolina with cool spring water from the National Park of Majella at a temperature of less than 59° F to ensure our pasta maintains its firmness after cooking.

Bronze Drawplates

We shape our pasta through bronze drawplates to provide a rough surface similar to homemade pasta to better capture and retain sauce.

Low Temperature and Slow Drying

We dry our pasta slowly at low temperature to preserve both the original color and flavor of our durum semolina as well as retain all the nutritional value.

  • 1 tomato
  • 3 leaves sage
  • 1 small bunch parsley
  • 2 tbsp lard, minced

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.
