Hand Made Pasta

Hand-worked fusilli represent the most typical and authentic format of the Gragnano tradition. For over 400 years, the artisanal method for creating fusilli has never changed, handed down from generation to generation. Each fusillo is the result of a precise and fast gesture, masterfully made by our expert fusilla makers.

Making fusilli by hand takes years of experience. The technique involves precisely twisting the bucatino around a steel spindle. Too strong a movement could block the central hole, which is essential for the digestibility of the pasta; too slow a movement, however, would not guarantee the typical twisted shape. It is an art that requires passion, dedication and knowledge handed down over the centuries.

Pastificio Afeltra has created the Gragnano Fusilli a Mano Presidium, a dedicated space inside the pasta factory where the master fusilli makers bring this extraordinary pasta to life every day. Here, tradition meets quality, guaranteeing a unique and unrepeatable product

Our hand-rolled fusilli are distinguished by their rough texture and ability to hold the sauces perfectly. Their particular texture makes them perfect for enhancing any sauce, from the most delicate sauces to the most full-bodied ragù, offering an authentic and unmistakable gastronomic experience.
