Description
Calamarata: thick pasta rings named for their likeness to sliced squid.
The producer describes a ring shape that recalls calamari, made for seafood or tomato sauces. Pasta Orobio makes this pasta in Altamura with organic durum wheat semolina and water only, from native wheat varieties grown by certified farms in Puglia and Basilicata. The pasta is bronze-drawn and dried slowly at low temperature. The semolina is checked in the laboratory before processing, and the pasta shows no mycotoxins detectable by specific analysis (below 20 ppb). Cooking time 10 minutes. Store in a cool, dry place.
For restaurants and chefs. The classic dish is calamarata with squid, cherry tomatoes and parsley, where pasta and seafood share the same shape on the plate. The rings also carry a tomato and swordfish sauce or a rich ragù. Cook for 10 minutes and finish in the pan with the seafood juices. A 24-month shelf life keeps the shape in stock between seasons.
For specialty and Italian stores. Calamarata has a built-in story, pasta that looks like squid rings, which catches attention and invites a question at the shelf. Paired with seafood sauces or canned fish the store already stocks, it becomes a ready meal idea. The organic and mycotoxin-free claims support a price above standard pasta.
