Paccheri lisci di Gragnano: price and online sale

Paccheri Lisci di Gragnano

The Paccheri Lisci from Mulino di Gragnano are one of the most renowned types of pasta from Campania, reintroduced by Mulino di Gragnano in its classic version with durum wheat semolina.

It is a cylindrical pasta shape, with no ridges, that differs from half paccheri lisci in length (the half paccheri are, in fact, about half the size).

Paccheri: the origin of the name

Aside from the pacchero, you could bring to the table the story of this pasta shape because probably all your diners do not know its origin. Paccheri were consumed by the “lazzaroni,” that is, those belonging to the most disadvantaged social classes; only a few were enough to fill the plate.

In Neapolitan dialect, pacchero means a slap; this type of pasta, when poured onto the plate, makes a noise very similar to the sound of a “pacca.”

How Paccheri Lisci are produced

The production of paccheri is very simple and reflects that of all Gragnano DOP pasta: durum wheat semolina and water. Specifically, the pasta factory Mulino di Gragnano selects the best Apulian wheat and uses only pure water from Mount Faito.

An essential tool is the bronze die, which ensures the porosity of the paccheri, an indispensable characteristic to enhance the flavors of the dish. The drying process, slow and at low temperatures, preserves the characteristics of the wheat, ensuring the smooth paccheri have flavor and hold during cooking.
