Organic Whole-Wheat Fusilli, also known as spirals, is a popular “spindle” pasta shape. Born in Southern Italy, Fusilli were made by skilled pasta makers by rapidly twirling spaghetti around a rod. These spring-like curves are incredible sauce catchers and known for standing up to hearty meat sauces, like the beloved Bolognese.
DeLallo Organic Whole-Wheat Pasta begins with a high-quality blend of Italian organic durum wheat. Wheat is chosen for its beautiful color, wonderful aroma and high protein content. All of these characteristics create a pasta with ideal appearance, flavor and al dente texture when cooked. This wheat is ground into whole durum wheat flour, then kneaded with rich mountain spring water for everything you love about traditional pasta, but with the benefits of whole grains. Pasta is extruded with bronze dies for a rough surface texture perfect for capturing sauces. True to tradition, we dry our pasta slowly at low temperatures to retain the pasta’s taste, texture and aroma.
