The ingredients are mixed together in a dough bowl using a dough hook, formed into snakes in a machine and then cut into small pieces from the snakes. These are placed on a conveyor belt above which bronze templates are used to shape the pasta. This is why San Vicario Ciactelli pasta tradizionali is only shaped and not pressed. They are therefore not subjected to high pressure and high temperatures as in industrial pasta production. Instead, everything happens as if you were making the pasta yourself at home. It is important that the pasta is pasteurized after forming and then dried at around 38°C for 16 hours. This slow drying makes a significant difference. This is because the proteins in the pasta can now slowly interlock and form a stable, firm pasta. In industrial production, the pasta only has around 100 minutes to dry. This is why they are often dried at very high temperatures (up to 100°C). The taste of industrial pasta is correspondingly weak, as the beautiful durum wheat aroma is simply "toasted".
