Pizza, Pasta and Bread: The United States vs. Italy
What’s the difference between pizza, pasta and bread in the US vs. Italy?
We hear it all the time, “I just came back from Italy and ate pizza, bread and pasta and I felt great! No bloat, no gluten intolerance, it didn’t feel like I ate a brick afterwards and my body was happy!”
The reason is simple: no one in Italy wants to undercut the quality of food. Let’s start with ingredients: certified Italian wheat. From the selection of the ancient grains to production on stone mills, we start with the highest quality flour for superior quality pizza, pasta and bread.
We use Italian Tipo “00” flour to make our bread and pizza, which is the finest grind and the gold standard for Neapolitan style pizza. It comes from soft wheat or durum wheat, and is higher in protein and lower in gluten. The difference in grind size affects the hydration levels of flour and the fine nature of the 00 flour means a pizza that’s both tender and tasty.
We make our artisanal Alto Pasta in Avelino, Italy using just two ingredients – 100% top quality Italian organic durum semolina wheat and mountain spring water. The pasta is extracted on bronze, which creates spectacular cuts with a rough edge that give a satisfying texture to the pasta and allows the sauce to stick. This is superior to mass machine-created smooth pasta. It’s then allowed to slow dry for 20 – 40 hours (depending on cut) which is key for proper digestion.
This process, along with these pure ingredients, make all the difference for your health. When you want pizza, pasta and bread, go to Altomonte’s! You deserve wholesome food that hasn’t been stripped of nutritional standards and that your body feels good about.
