In Italy, maccheroni means short, slightly bent tubular pasta, supposedly known since ancient times and, in any case, indispensable in southern Italian cuisine. Thanks to their shape, they are the ideal partner for tomato, vegetable and cheese sauces, as well as a good base for pasta bakes.

Founded in 1918, the Benedetto Cavalieri company in Apulia only uses durum wheat from the region. It contains less protein and gluten than the often used Canadian durum wheat and is less intensely colored, but it produces pasta that is characterized by a highly aromatic taste and unique firmness to the bite. The dough is individually adapted to each pasta format. However, the dough is always kneaded for a long time before being pressed through the bronze molds at low pressure. The resulting pasta is dried at low temperatures for up to 44 hours. The pasta then stabilizes during a 24-hour rest in climate chambers. When cooked, Cavalieri pasta has a perfect texture with an even bite, a rough surface and a fine durum wheat aroma.
