Giuseppe Cocco Penne Rigate N.42 500g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The Rough Bronze-Die”  formats take their name from one of the essential elements in the production of all Pasta Cocco shapes: the bronze die. The unique circular, single-hole bronze dies used at the Cav. Cocco Artisan Pasta Factory ensure the perfect rough texture, allowing the pasta to capture and enhance the flavour of every sauce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIt was 1916 when Domenico Cocco began working in a pasta factory at the age of just 14. Over time, what began as a job became a true passion. He quickly learned the techniques and subtle details of the craft from the elder “Master” pasta makers and was soon known himself as “Mastro Domenico.”\u2028He dedicated his life to this fascinating trade, guarding all its secrets, which he would later pass on to his son Giuseppe—just as the elders had once done for him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1944, Giuseppe Cocco inherited his father’s legacy during a time of great hardship. Alongside his father, he worked to recover pieces of old pasta-making machinery from the rubble left by the war that had devastated Fara San Martino. Those machines were rebuilt and brought back to life.\u2028Over the years, Giuseppe’s experience grew, and he too earned the title “Mastro Peppe.” His unwavering dedication to the craft was eventually recognised with the honour of Cavaliere del Lavoro (Knight of Labor).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt that point, the dream to create his own “method” was born—a way to reproduce the pasta of times gone by. He began searching for traditional, artisanal pasta machines and restored them. He carefully selected bronze dies to ensure the pasta had just the right roughness to absorb sauces.\u2028His quest continued with the choice of the finest durum wheat semolina—the kind that smells like home, capable of giving the pasta perfect texture when combined with the spring water that nature bestowed upon Fara San Martino. To finish, he decided to recreate the slow drying process once done under the sun, using static low-temperature drying chambers, giving the pasta all the time it needed—without haste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAncient machines, memories, and secrets passed down from father to son still allow the Cocco Family to produce, in Fara San Martino, the same pasta from times past—just as good as it was then.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deliver","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52431773270314,"sku":"GCPNR500","price":8.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/1091\/8442\/files\/Cav.GiuseppeCoccoPenneRigateN.42500g.jpg?v=1788078816","url":"https:\/\/ladispensa.com.au\/products\/cav-giuseppe-cocco-penne-rigate-n-42-500g","provider":"La Dispensa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
