Yorkshire Pasta Selection by The Yorkshire Pasta Company (5
x 500g) - British Pasta
Brand: The Yorkshire Pasta Company
One of each of The Yorkshire Pasta Company's range!
This set contains 5 x 500g packs of each of the following: No 01
Fusilli: Fusilli ‘spindles’ are like a corkscrew – it is the
helterskelter of the pasta world! The swirly design partnered with
the texture created from our traditional bronze-drawn method, leads
to a champion sauce-holding ability and such a delightful
mouthfeel. The shape is a pretty funky creation when you think
about it. We love to eat these stirred into a punchy bolognese
sauce. No 02 Penne Rigate: One of the all-time favourites: penne.
We make our penne ‘rigate’, meaning ridged, which helps this little
guy hold its shape and soak up sauce. ‘Penne’ comes from the
Italian word for quill and the angled end encourages even more
sauce to be scooped up. Safe to say this is one saucy fella. These
characteristics mean that this pasta is destined for a baked
masterpiece. No 03 Conchiglie Rigate: Most commonly referred to as
‘shells’, Conchiglie Rigate cuddle sauces more than any other pasta
due to the rigid outer and smooth, deep, cave-like interior. They
are excellent with lighter sauces and those with chunky pieces. For
our family, these shells are the basis for the most awesome twist
on ‘Mac ‘n’ Cheese’; each pasta piece oozes cheese and those oh so
cheeky bacon pieces seem to magically hide in the centres for an
exhilarating crispy surprise. No 04 Tortiglioni: Similar to
Rigatoni, but with more pronounced grooves that actually swirl
their way around the pasta. Hence their name, which stems from the
Latin ‘torquere’, meaning ‘to turn’. Perfect with simple sauces,
zesty salads and fish dishes. Big, bold and mighty in appearance,
texture and taste. No 05 Mezze Maniche Rigate: Ridged tubes of
pasta almost as wide as they are long, with furrows down the
outside. Rumoured to be hard to find and unlikely to be appreciated
outside of Rome, this stylish number is making its debut in
Yorkshire. They are capable of holding a range of sauces, from
substantial and meaty to creamy and velvety. Mass manufactured
pasta takes two hours to make, arriving as flour and leaving in a
plastic bag. Ours takes two days. We dry our pasta slowly
overnight, at low temperatures, allowing the dough to gently mature
and develop flavour. As the old saying goes, what you put in is
what you get out, and the same goes for the quality of flour and
the resulting pasta. We source our flour from a local mill, working
directly with the miller, ensuring superb quality grain with the
desired attributes for our recipe. The flour goes through strict
quality checks at the mill, and each batch is inspected by
ourselves on arrival. We don’t use any eggs in our recipes, so our
pastas are all vegan. The drying process, which is bespoke for each
shape, removes excess moisture from the dough and locks in
delicious taste. This means that each piece of pasta will stay
scrumptious for up to 2 years. Just like the master pasta makers
‘maestri pastai’ of Italy, we know that the only way to achieve
superior quality pasta is to press the dough through bronze dies.
Whilst industrial manufacturers have long since moved to teflon
dies to aid their high speeds, we stay true to tradition and invest
in old fashioned hard metal dies. Our dies create a rough surface
on every single piece, making the pasta perfect for absorbing
delicious sauces, elevating a meal from good to superb. We worked
very hard to be able to create our plastic free products. Once
produced, our pasta is placed in our specially developed paper
bags. These are 100% recyclable and each one is sealed by hand with
two of our signature metal fastenings. These fastenings make our
bags look good and more importantly help us avoid using plastic! We
only use water and locally milled wheat flour, of which 70% is
grown right here in Yorkshire, Humberside and Lincolnshire. This
means our products can be enjoyed by vegans and vegetarians. They
are also free from stabilisers and preservatives. Just flour and
water. Marvellous. About the Producer We are a small family
business based in Malton showing the difference between mass
manufactured supermarket 'pasta' and beautiful, sustainable,
artisan pasta! We combine artisan techniques with locally milled
wheat flour and sustainable paper packaging to create our premium
British pasta. Many industrial manufacturers have lost touch with
the traditional techniques, opting for rapid, high-throughput
methods. We want to take pasta back to basics, with no compromise
on flavour, making pasta slowly and authentically; this is
essential for enhancing the flavour of the grain and the pasta’s
ability to absorb sauces. Some say it even results in a more easily
digestible pasta.
