Voiello is a renowned Italian brand known for its high-quality pasta products. Established in the late 19th century, Voiello has become synonymous with premium pasta, celebrated for its rich flavor and superior texture. The brand is particularly famous for its use of 100% Italian durum wheat, which contributes to the pasta's exceptional quality.

History[edit | edit source]

Voiello was founded in 1879 in Torre Annunziata, a town near Naples, Italy. The region's favorable climate and fertile soil made it an ideal location for producing high-quality durum wheat, which is essential for making superior pasta. Over the years, Voiello has maintained its commitment to traditional pasta-making techniques while also embracing modern innovations to enhance its products.

Products[edit | edit source]

Voiello offers a wide range of pasta shapes, each crafted to complement different types of sauces and culinary styles. Some of the most popular varieties include:

  • Spaghetti
  • Penne Rigate
  • Fusilli
  • Linguine

Each type of pasta is designed to hold sauces effectively, ensuring a delightful dining experience.

Production Process[edit | edit source]

The production of Voiello pasta involves several key steps:

1. Selection of Wheat: Only the finest durum wheat is selected, ensuring the pasta's high protein content and firm texture. 2. Milling: The wheat is milled into semolina, a coarse flour that is ideal for pasta making. 3. Mixing and Kneading: The semolina is mixed with water to form a dough, which is then kneaded to achieve the desired consistency. 4. Extrusion: The dough is extruded through bronze dies, giving the pasta its rough texture that helps sauces adhere better. 5. Drying: The pasta is slowly dried at low temperatures to preserve its flavor and nutritional value.

Culinary Uses[edit | edit source]

Voiello pasta is versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes, from simple Aglio e Olio to elaborate seafood pasta dishes. Its ability to absorb flavors makes it a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike.
