Trofie-short, thin, twisted pasta native to Liguria, in northern Italy. The most classic of all combinations is trofie with the famous Ligurian basil pesto. Members of the Di Martino family have owned & run the factory since 1912 with a passion for pasta that has always been interwoven with their history. Today, the family's third generation is at the helm of the company making PGI Gragnano pasta. Their ability to mix tradition and technology along with the selection of raw materials is the secret to the high quality of their pasta, which is produced with extra fine, 100% Italian durum wheat semolina together with spring water coming from Monti Lattari. The traditional Gragnano method of being passed through a bronze die and dried at a low temperature gives their pasta a superior flavor and a textured surface that binds well with sauces.
