Description
Maritati: orecchiette and maccheroncini, married.
Maritati, married in the Apulian dialect, join two shapes in one pack: orecchiette and maccheroncini. Il Mulino Calogiuri makes them with stone-milled Tritordeum flour and water. Tritordeum is a cereal bred in southern Spain from durum wheat and a wild South American barley, selected over three decades without genetic modification. The producer labels the pasta low glycaemic index.
For restaurants and chefs. Maritati mix orecchiette and short maccheroni in one plate, so each forkful changes texture. The producer pairs them with ricotta forte and tomato, the strong fermented ricotta of Puglia; they also suit turnip tops or a lamb ragù. They make a regional dish guests remember.
For specialty and Italian stores. Maritati, Apulian for married, is a shape few shops carry, and the name invites a question at the counter. Made with Tritordeum, it doubles as a regional and a new-grain story. It sells well as a gift with Apulian oil or condiments.
