Awards and Accolades
Italys Best Pasta, The Gambero Rosso
The Gambero Rosso perhaps the most important food organisation in Italy voted La Pasta di Aldo as Italys best pasta. 1st place. Aristocratic egg pasta, for large soires, in which craftsmanship meets perfection and refinement … Wonderful, sweet, full yet delicate taste, with great balance and acidity There are beautiful artisan companies that in some cases can also boast an exemplary quality-price ratio.
From Heston Blumenthals In Search of Perfection
“La Pasta Di Aldo captured the opposites that characterise great pasta – good body, but with a lightness; a rich flavour that doesnt overpower; substance twinned with a delicacy – and the colour was fantastic: a vivid yolk-yellow that signalled a high egg content and the use of durum wheat semolina, the hard flour that is vital to good pasta. It was clear that my next trip to Italy would have to include a visit to Monte San Giusto to see if Luigi Donnari would let me in on how he created it.”
