The pasta Minardo was born from a craftsmanship that today touches the 10 quintals per day, numbers far from the thousands of quintals of the industry.
The semolina comes bronze drawn, to obtain a naturally rough surface, ed dried slowly (from 24 to 72 hours) at low temperature, the time necessary to eliminate humidity without stressing the product. It's not a choice dictated by nostalgia, but from the desire to respect the raw material and create a pasta that best preserves the characteristics of the grain from which it is born.
There are three lines to which we dedicate our production. We created them to meet needs – nutritional and tasteful – diverse, always maintaining the same starting idea: each of our products must be good, sustainable and consistent with what we know about nutrition.
You know the commutative property of multiplication? Ecco: while alternating the order of productions, the method remains identical. And the result doesn't change: every one of our pastas is highly digestible thanks to weak gluten of superior quality and is rich in precious nutrients such as vitamins E, D and group B, noble proteins, amino acids and mineral salts.
Top Label represents the essence of the Minardo Pastificio.
Organic pasta made with ancient Sicilian grains, cultivated with respect for biodiversity and transformed with slow processes that preserve the characteristics of the raw material.
Every format – enclosed in refined packaging with attention to the smallest details – was created to enhance the grain from which it comes.
We are not looking for the same pasta all year round. We are looking for authentic pasta. This is why each harvest tells a different season, a different climate, a living agriculture.
Who is it designed for?
«Pasta must nourish you twice: both the body and the confidence of those who choose it"
Studying food means never stopping asking and asking questions. Over the years we have explored the nutritional value of cereals, seeds and ingredients naturally rich in beneficial properties, selecting only those consistent with our philosophy.
The Super Food line was born precisely from this research path. Each product is developed starting from a very simple principle: add real value to daily nutrition. Not ingredients “miraculous” but complete foods, balanced and naturally rich in nutrients such as vitamins, mineral salts, enzymes, amino acids and antioxidants, capable of bringing great health benefits.
Who is it designed for?
Always without sacrificing taste.
Studying food means never stopping asking and asking questions. Over the years we have explored thenutritional value of cereals, seeds and ingredients naturally rich in beneficial properties, selecting only those consistent with our philosophy: raw materials capable of adding new nutritional and organoleptic characteristics to pasta, without distorting its simplest function: be a daily food.
It was born like thisthe Super Food line. Pastaorganic ancient grains worked together withselected ingredients due to their specific characteristics: from’aronia – naturally rich in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds – all’nettle and therepumpkin seeds, from thecurcuma combined with black pepperspirulina – micro algae that concentrates vitamins in itself, minerals, proteins and antioxidants – untilcacao, with black garlic andcarob, typical and territorial product, rich in fibre, B vitamins and minerals, with a sweet and toasted flavor.
It's not about mixing miraculous raw materials or creating references to chase a trend. Each new line is born from a study path, tests and checks, to understand if that ingredient can become a coherent part of a food that Minardo wants, first of all, good and complete.
The idea is simple: bring research into an everyday gesture like a plate of pasta. Because even a food that we usually consume can become a space for experimentation, without losing the connection with taste, the quality of the raw materials and the pleasure of eating well.
Nutrition education does not begin at school. It starts much earlier. It begins when a baby tastes his first foods.
This is why we have developed a line dedicated to the little ones, using carefully selected organic raw materials and production processes that respect the nutritional characteristics of the ingredients.
For us Baby Food means simplicity: few ingredients, no compromise, maximum attention. In fact our pasta dishes are biological, made only with mineral water and with ancient grain granulate, variety Russello, rich in vitamin B1 (thiamin), fundamental for the growth of children e mandatory by law, in baby food. For these characteristics, Minardo pasta dishes are particularly good indicated for weaning, starting from the 4th month. You can find them on the shelves of macrobiotic stores, of some pharmacies and for tasting in high-end restaurants.
Because in the first years of life, food helps to build habits that will accompany a person forever.
