PASTA - Redefining the concept of the next generation convenience food

The following extract is taken from the Flour Milling, Baking and Confectionery Technology Department, CFT Research Institute, Mysore, India (Krishnan, M and Prabhasankar, P):

"Pasta, a delicious meal favourite and the signature dish of many of the world's most famous chefs and a bonding comfort meal for millions all over the world, it has been recognized as an identifying ingredient of traditional healthy Mediterranean and Latin American meals. Pasta has come a long way from the days when it was erroneously considered by consumers to be a "fattening food".  Today it is perceived as one of the "healthy options".  In fact, because pasta is so supremely versatile as a base meal, it is easily possible to serve it in ways to satisfy both our notions of "healthy eating" and our appetites for interesting and tasty food.  Pasta, being so popular as a delicious family meal favourite and equally relished all over the world, it deserves a lot than any other food to serve as an ideal functional food."

 

About Us

 Why is L'Abruzzese pasta so unique?


Many of the pasta products available in Australia are imported and therefore cannot be assurred of being G-E free. L'Abruzzese pasta is made with top quality, all Australian ingredients, free of chemicals and any genetic engineering.

Established in 1980, L'Abruzzese Pty Ltd® continues to create fine quality home-style egg noodles, gourmet and organic pasta using traditional methods, with only the freshest and natural Australian ingredients (no chemical, no preservatives, no genetically modified elements). The result is pasta with a unique, home-style look and superb taste – just like grandma makes!

A small family owned, and local company, we serve Australia wide retail food & hospitality arenas. We currently export to Hong Kong & Malaysia. We are HACCP approved for food safety and NASAA 100% Certified Organic (reg 5195 P).

Our Passion for a Quality Pasta

Creating 'Al Bronzo' penne with rough, bronze-style textures

Our passion is not just about “pasta†but the way it is made . Indeed, not all pastas are the same.

The difference between L'Abruzzese Pty Ltd ® pasta and other brands is its home-style look and taste. We use traditional methods in manufacturing to help retain the natural flavours and hence, taste. We also hand-pack our pasta, ensuring its quality

Throughout our experience, we believe our reputation endures in the quality product we produce and the creator's passion for a unique flavour.

As a result, a perfect “marriage†exists between quality ingredients and creator know-how that values tradition.

Packing our delicious, thick egg rigatoni

All our pastas use the finest Australian ingredients including farm-fresh eggs (in the egg varieties) and top quality wheats with no chemicals or preservatives, together with a slow-drying process, anywhere between 20 to 48 hours. The result is a myriad of pasta shapes that not only have a unique look and superb taste but also “hold†well in the cooking process.

Sourcing the best Australian ingredients has lead to a fostering of solid, long-term relationships with premium wheat suppliers and flour mill producers in both South Australia and nation wide.

Twenty years on, the company now specializes in an extensive range of tasty egg and gourmet flavoured pasta as well as delicious certified organic pasta.

The name “L'Abruzzese†originates from the Italian region Abruzzo, found in the middle of Italy approximately east of Lazio, the region which houses Rome. To be from the region of Abruzzo makes you an “Abruzzese†just as a South Australian comes from the state of South Australia. It is said that the best pasta in Italy comes from Abruzzo.

L'Abruzzese Pty Ltd is a growing family-owned business established in 1980. Run by Directors & Pasta creator Carmelo Baldino (right) & Isidoro Lustri (far left) and family. Our home-style pasta is Award winning and truly delicious – Just like Mamma Makes!
