Homemade pasta is a widespread art in Apulia: orecchiette are the most popular format in this region. At home they are obtained from cylinders of dough about one and a half centimetres long, which are dragged on the pastry board with the rounded tip of a knife or with a metal tool called “sferre” in dialect. The shell thus obtained looks like a small ear with a wrinkled outer surface. Our product is dried for 48 hours at a low temperature and processed with Italian “Senatore Cappelli” wheat.
