What about making it easier to eat healthier, to waste less food and to spend less money? We would love to hear if any of you have tried this already!

For the best #taste experience, you want a #pasta that's made with bronze dies. It means that the #sauce will stick better to your pasta!

When you eat pasta, do you like your sauce to stick to your pasta shapes, so that you have the taste of sauce with every bite? We do. That's why we prefer pasta that is made in the traditional way using bronze dies. Compared to mass-produced pasta (made with regular, teflon dies), you will get a much better taste experience. Bronze extruded pasta is less smooth on its surface, so that means more sauce per bite! And who doesn't love more flavour per bite?

If you want to feel good, it is important to eat ingredients that are great for you. And did you know that the flours you eat can make a huge difference in this? We're not even talking about the ingrients the flour is made of, purely the flour itself. Regular flour is usually dead flour, as it has been milled in an industrial mill at a high temperature, which results in nutritionally poor and life-less flour. This flour can be stored for years before it is made into food! A healthier option is to seek stone-milled flours. The flour is alive, it hasn't been overheated while milling and it contains the proper nutrients your body needs. You can find this kind of freshly-milled flour in all sorts of quality products, including in our PastaMagic.
