The preparation of the dough is the research of a thin balance between a lot of factors: the water temperature, the grain of the durum wheat flour and the climatic conditions which let us obtain every day the best possible product.
Another crucial factor to determine the quality of the pasta is the bronze die. This material, when in contact with pasta, permit us to obtain a raw surface that favour the union with the condiment.
-Wire Drawing:
The dough is forced through a cave with the desired shape, some knives cut the pasta to the wished length. The die can be made up of bronze or teflon. The bronze die gives the pasta a certain roughness in the surface that allows us to hold the condiment, while the plastic die make the surface completely smooth.
-Drying:
The pasta that comes from the wire drawings contains almost 30% of water, that has to be taken down to 12,5% with the drying: with this process the pasta reaches the right consistency and it can be conserved for a longer time. Than the pasta is placed on specific wooden framework to be finally put in the driers.
The drying time depends on the temperature: at 40-80 degrees 24-28 hours are needed. The product obtained with this passage, thanks to the denaturalization of the proteins, allows the formation of a thick net that englobes the amid grains and limits the swelling during the cooking, letting the product a better resistance to the cooking.
