Stroncatura Pasta
Stroncatura (Struncatura in Calabrian meaning "scraps") is a pasta with a dark history. Once considered the "pasta for the poor", the story goes that it was once made with leftovers collected daily from a mill. Literally, scraps of carob (used mainly as animal feed and considered not fit for human consumption) were given to peasants who created the pasta and doused it with a heavy anchovy sauce to mask the flavor.
Perfected and produced today using bronze dies and dried at low temperatures, it rivals any whole-wheat pasta at supermarkets. We import this pasta directly from Calabria, Italy.
