The "Leonardo Tube", one of the artist-themed limited edition Rustichella d’Abruzzo gift sets exclusively created with original Rustichella d’Abruzzo artworks for the 2025 World Pasta Day, is a tribute to the most romantic and poetic side of Leonardo da Vinci. It combines the medieval charm of pomegranate paccherini with the refined mystery of truffle sauce. The pink hue of the paccherini recalls the warm tones of his early works, while the pomegranate evokes the botanical elegance of a bygone era. The truffle sauce, with its earthy intensity, adds a flavor contrast reminiscent of the hidden nuances in Leonardo's drawings. A refined and contemplative experience, perfect for those who love to impress guests with a touch of gastronomic magic: a journey through art and taste, where every bite reveals an unexpected detail.
In this tube you will find: Pomegranate paccherini pasta (250gr), truffle sauce (130gr), wooden fork from Rustichella d'Abruzzo.
"Punica granatum", originally from Asia Minor (Persia and Afghanistan), the pomegranate and its fruits reached Europe thanks to Phoenician merchants. The name derives from “apple” because it recalls its shape and color and “grain” for the internal consistency of the seeds, very similar to corn. Protagonist of countless stories and legends, in the Greek world this plant was sacred to Juno and Venus. In ancient Rome, brides wove pomegranate branches in their hair, a symbol of fertility and wealth. Maximum splendor in art and culture occurs in the Renaissance, a subject present in the works of Caravaggio and a fruit used to make the dishes of Italian and European banquets unique.
Produced through an innovative production process that does not require pasteurization and enhances the quality of the ingredients, the truffle sauce has the plus of the highest quality Molise truffles and Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the Aprutino Pescarese area, which makes it the perfect condiment for the Rustichella d'Abruzzo egg shapes of the "Sapori della Natura" line, such as Laganelle with Saffron and those with Truffles for lovers of this precious tuber.
Today, just like 100 years ago, Rustichella d’Abruzzo produces artisan pasta while following three golden rules of tradition:
The choice of the semolina from a accurate selection of the best durum wheat,
The use of bronze dies that give the pasta a special roughness essential to make it absorb any kind of sauce and then exalt the taste of any pasta dish,
The long drying process during 24-56 hours made keeping very low temperatures around 45°. This process preserves the protein values and helps to keep the organoleptic characteristics of the semolina unchanged, giving the products a special taste.
Set up in 1924, Rustichella d’Abruzzo once was as small artisan pasta laboratory. The artisan production method is the same as followed in the past time, and Rustichella d’Abruzzo’s pasta cuts are easily recognized at a glace. Located in the Abruzzo region, the pasta factory uses the best ingredients to make traditional and special durum-wheat pasta according to the old tradition.
Obtained by passing the semolina, slowly mixed with water, through the bronze dies that make the surface of the shapes rough and porous, perfect in combination with sauces and condiments. The rough surface enhances the aroma of the semolina obtained from selected durum wheat. The drying takes place at a very low temperature (40 ° / 45 °) for a duration (24-56 hours) which varies according to the formats. With this method the protein values and the exceptional organoleptic characteristics of the selected durum wheat are preserved.
