DeLallo Organic Shellbows Pasta, also known as organic lumache, is a certified-organic pasta in a shape that can be described as a shell-elbow hybrid. Its curved tube shape and ridged surface makes it a great pasta cut for capturing thick and creamy sauces, which is why we love it for cheesy baked pasta dishes. Shellbows are as fun to say as they are to eat.
DeLallo Pasta comes from the town where pasta was born, a region near Naples, at the beginning of the Amalfi Coast. The art of making our pasta begins with the very best quality wheat. We carefully choose wheat with the highest gluten index, gluten content and protein content. All of these characteristics affect how the past cooks, as well as its taste and texture. The durum wheat is milled into coarse ground semolina flour and then carefully kneaded with cold, fresh, mineral-rich mountain spring water. We dry our pasta slowly at low temperatures to reproduce the traditional way of making pasta. This method respects the ingredients, preserving the pasta’s color, texture and aroma.
