Orecchiette Is A Shortcut Of Pasta Born In A Region Of Southern Italy Known As Puglia. Orecchiette Means Little Ears In Italian. Named For Its Small Ear Shape, This Pasta Is Round And Concave With A Thicker Edge Than Its Middle, Giving Orecchiette Pasta A Distinct Texture: Tender In The Middle With Chewier Edges.

Delallo Pasta Begins With A High-Quality Blend Of Organic Durum Wheat. Wheat Is Chosen For Its Beautiful Color, Wonderful Aroma And High Protein Content And Is Milled Into Coarse Ground Semolina Flour And Then Carefully Kneaded With Cold, Fresh, Mineral-Rich Mountain Spring Water.

Pasta Is Extruded With Bronze Dies For A Rough Surface Texture Perfect For Capturing Sauces. True To Tradition, We Dry Our Pasta Slowly At Low Temperatures To Retain The Pastas Taste, Texture And Aroma. Orecchiette Shines In A Number Of Dishes, Including Cold Picnic Pasta Salads, Cream Sauces, Heartier Meat Rags, Pesto, And Vegetable Primavera-Style Sauces.

We Love Orecchiette With Sausage And Broccoli Tossed In Olive Oil And Topped With A Generous Sprinkling Of Parmesan Cheese.
