What is the difference between soft and fresh?
Fresh pasta is not necessarily fresh just because it is soft. Industrially produced filled pastas are pasteurized to maximize shelf life while retaining softness. The resulting product is rubbery with a plastic feel and unappetizing bounce. Other pastas contain preservatives or chemical additives in an attempt to maintain the dough’s pliability. We do not treat at high temperatures, parboil or chemically preserve our pasta. Back to top.
