The dough and the kneading  take place under the strict supervision of the chief pasta maker that regulates the basic ingredients, the water sources of Gragnano and semolina selected, so that the compound is present at the touch elastic and compact, ready to "put into shape "of the pasta.
The bronze drawing guarantees the roughness and irregularity of refined products, traditional craftsmanship, to facilitate the perfect match between the pasta and its dressing.
The manual spreading of the product is achieved by spreading the dough on special rods of steel, for long pasta, or on frames made of fir wood, for short pasta. The "spannatore" performs unique movements with precision and mastery, taking care to put wires or different formats pasta close to each other, avoiding the danger of fusion during the next drying phase.
The drying process once adjusted by opening windows or with exposure to the sun, to find the right balance of temperature and humidity, it is now left to the task of modern static cells, that allow you to replicate, in key technologically advanced the experience of the past. The process takes a min. of 14 hours up to a max. 60 hours, depending on the shapes, and the temperature is contained, between 40 ° and 60 °.
