Production Process
Marcozzi di Campofilone Egg Pasta is made of only two ingredients: free-range fresh eggs from non-intensive farms from hens fed with no-GMO cereals and durum wheat semolina obtained from Italian wheat fields. The durum wheat semolina is slowly mixed with the eggs (35% of the total) for at least 30-40 minutes, until the dough is soft and elastic. The dough is worked with bronze dies. This gives the pasta a rough and porous look, ideal for binding with every sauce. The pasta dough is rolled into thin sheets, a thinness that few can obtain and allows a faster cooking time, a delicate taste, and a pasta that is easier to digest. The pasta strands are then manually laid on paper sheets with the edge of a knife. The sides of the paper are then folded in order to protect the product. The paper sheets with the fresh pasta are laid on specific frames and then slowly dried (20-36 hours) at low temperatures (28°-54°C). The drying process is personalized for every shape depending on the humidity and ventilation. Marcozzi applies strict controls to every production: weight control with digital scale, visual control of every produced and dried sheet, humidity control with thermobalance, cooking test and tasting of samples of every batch, control of the potential presence of metallic particles in the packed product with metal detector, chemical and microbiological analysis of samples.
