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