Where: Grottole (MT), Basilicata
Pastificio Italyca operates in Grottole, in the province of Matera, in the heart of Basilicata. It produces certified organic artisanal pasta, using exclusively 100% Italian durum wheat semolina.
The pasta is dried slowly and at a low temperature: a method that requires more time but respects the grain. The shapes are traditional from Basilicata and the South, such as orecchiette, strascinati, cavatelloni, and strozzapreti, along with the great classics: spaghetti, penne, fusilli, paccheri, and trofie.
In addition to pasta, the factory also produces organic extra virgin olive oil. Italyca pasta can be purchased here on MangiamoItaliano, in 500g packs. We ship throughout Italy, with free shipping on orders over €59.
