Tirrena is the dried pasta line from the renowned Tuscan estate Frescobaldi. Extra virgin olive oil lovers may recognize the Frescobaldi name from their vibrant green bottles of extra virgin olive oil, which have been among Market Hall Foods’ best-sellers for years.
Tirrena Linguine is a semi-whole grain pasta made from three ancient durum wheat varieties—Senatore Cappelli, Khorasan, and Evoldur—grown on the Frescobaldi estate. The Frescobaldi family carefully selected these particular wheat varieties specifically for their pasta, as these plants are well-suited to the soils and temperate climate of the region and above all, their inimitable flavor.
The pasta itself is made at Pastificio Artigiano Fabbri, an artisanal pasta factory in the Tuscan region of Chianti where time-honored family traditions dictate the pasta-making process. Extruded through bronze dies and slowly air-dried for 120 hours at the optimal temperature, Tirrena Linguine boasts that rough texture that cooks up perfectly while still retaining the natural flavor of the wheat.
We love serving long cuts like linguine with simple ingredients, like lemon and garlic, shrimp scampi or burst cherry tomatoes and Tirrena Linguine shines in each recipe.
