THE PROJECT
A unique location is that of the Pastificio Strampelli, built more than 1,000 metres above sea level in Collegentilesco, a hamlet of Amatrice. An ambitious project born from the desire to enhance the richness of a territory that has so much to tell and pass on.
Uncontaminated territory, historical tradition linked to local recipes, craftsmanship and passion in processing, make our pasta with a 100% Italian heart a true excellence. Slowly dried at a low temperature, rough and porous, versatile for the preparation of historical local dishes such as Amatriciana and Gricia, and for a wide variety of recipes
.
THE METHOD
PURE INGREDIENTS
The absolute purity of the ingredients, slow drying at low temperature, accurate craftsmanship, and so much love for the territory of Amatrice and its population rich in historical traditions: all this makes our unique pasta a sought-after ambassador of the “Made in Italy”. It has become even more considered thanks to the prestigious De.Co. of the Municipality of Amatrice for the promotion of local products.
QUALITY IN EVERY DETAIL
Nazareno Strampelli
THE REAL “GREEN REVOLUTION”
A true “green revolution” was carried out by Nazareno Strampelli in the early 1900s, by starting a plant genetic improvement program through pioneering experiments to improve the resistance of wheat to various external agents. He established a real production chain in the experimental station of graniculture in Rieti that, over the 1920s, led to the production of the “Grani della Vittoria” (“Grains of Victory”) thanks to a brilliant and meticulous work on wheat varieties from all over the world.
This was the first true globalization in agriculture that, success after success, laid the foundations of world graniculture and led to new varieties of wheat, which are today cultivated all over the planet. A 100% Italian grain that proudly has deep roots in these territories.
