Great Pasta Starts with Great Flour
Flour 411
At Piccoline's Table, we use only organic durum semolina flour — the traditional choice in Italy for its rich flavor, golden color, and exceptional texture.
Simple Ingredients. Extraordinary pasta.
Why Duram Wheat?
Duram wheat is a hard variety of wheat, naturally higher in protein than the wheat used in most bread. It gives pasta its signature:
Firm Texture
Perfect al dente bite
Beautiful golden color
Rich, satisfying taste
Ability to hold sauces beautifully
What’s Naturally Inside?
Organic durum semolina provides important nutrients naturally.
Plant-based Protein - Supports muscle health and keeps you satisfied
Complex Carbohydrates - A steady source of energy
Fiber - Supports healthy digestion
Iron - Helps carry oxygen and supports energy levels
B Vitamins - Including folate and thiamin, which help convert food into energy

A Tradition of Simplicity
Organic durum semolina flour
Authentic Italian pasta has been made the same way for centuries:
Water
Fresh eggs (when used)
Love and Skilled hands
No Preservatives. No artificial ingredients. Just honest, traditional pasta.
Slow Dried. Worth the Wait.
Our handmade pasta is naturally slow-dried over 2-3 days, rather than rapidly machine-dried like most commercial boxed pasta. Even when boxed pasta has a similarily simple ingredient list, the drying time and processing may influence the pasta’s structure, starch digestability and how the body responds to it.
