History[edit]
Voiello was founded in 1879 in Torre Annunziata, a town near Naples, Italy. The region's favorable climate and fertile soil made it an ideal location for producing high-quality durum wheat, which is essential for making superior pasta. Over the years, Voiello has maintained its commitment to traditional pasta-making techniques while also embracing modern innovations to enhance its products.

Each type of pasta is designed to hold sauces effectively, ensuring a delightful dining experience.
Production Process[edit]
The production of Voiello pasta involves several key steps:
1. Selection of Wheat: Only the finest durum wheat is selected, ensuring the pasta's high protein content and firm texture. 2. Milling: The wheat is milled into semolina, a coarse flour that is ideal for pasta making. 3. Mixing and Kneading: The semolina is mixed with water to form a dough, which is then kneaded to achieve the desired consistency. 4. Extrusion: The dough is extruded through bronze dies, giving the pasta its rough texture that helps sauces adhere better. 5. Drying: The pasta is slowly dried at low temperatures to preserve its flavor and nutritional value.
Culinary Uses[edit]
Voiello pasta is versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes, from simple Aglio e Olio to elaborate seafood pasta dishes. Its ability to absorb flavors makes it a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike.
