Tortiglioni Pasta 500g by The Yorkshire Pasta Company -
British Pasta
Brand: The Yorkshire Pasta Company
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. 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.
