Today, the quality of our food depends on choosing authentic, traceable products crafted with genuine expertise. With this philosophy in mind, Oliviers&Co has carefully selected a brand-new exclusive range of dry pasta for you: Pasta Raguso.
The Story and Expertise of the Raguso Family
The excellence of this pasta is rooted in an Italian family business founded more than ten years ago by the Raguso family. Farmers for three generations, they made the bold choice to embrace a short supply chain by directly processing the wheat grown on their own land, located between Puglia and Basilicata. Respect for nature is an absolute priority. Cultivated through an eco-responsible approach, their wheat is guaranteed to contain zero pesticide residues. The company is also committed to a circular economy model, where agricultural by-products are used to feed livestock or generate energy, and where the cellulose packaging is fully recyclable.
When it comes to production, quality is uncompromising : made from durum wheat semolina, the pasta is bronze-drawn before undergoing a slow drying process in static chambers. This exceptional method gives the pasta a slightly rough texture that perfectly holds sauces. Its flavor is so rich, intense, and authentic that this pasta is delicious even without sauce !
Brighten Your Dishes with Our Olive Oils
To fully reveal the subtleties of this range, the right pairing makes all the difference. Nothing compares to a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to coat the pasta with elegance. If you would like to explore new flavors and add a creative touch, discover one of the flavored olive oils from our collection. A few drops of fresh-basil, fresh-thyme, or provençal herbes olive oil will transform a simple dish into a true sun-drenched culinary journey. Of course, our classic olive oils, with either green or ripe fruity notes, remain the essential companion to all your Italian recipes
Our Selection of Raguso Pasta
To elevate your everyday meals or refined dinners, discover the exceptional references from this outstanding range :
Spaghettoni
Spaghettoni are a variety of long, thin pasta, recognizable for being slightly thicker than traditional spaghetti. Originating from southern Italy, they stand out for their excellent cooking resistance and generous texture. They pair perfectly with rich and indulgent sauces such as carbonara or Bolognese, while also complementing seafood recipes or simple sautéed vegetables, which they beautifully coat while remaining perfectly al dente.
Tubettini
A true staple of southern Italian family cooking, tubettini are small, short cylindrical pasta shaped like mini tubes. Their compact and practical shape works wonderfully in creamy dishes or summer pasta salads, where they capture sauces, vegetables, and legumes in every bite. They are also perfect for comforting winter evenings, adding texture and flavor to soups, minestrone, and broth-based recipes.
Calamarata
Inspired by the sea, calamarata is a short pasta shaped like wide rings that visually resemble squid rings. Iconic to the Naples region, its generous shape naturally pairs with seafood sauces as well as tomato- or vegetable-based preparations. In addition, its large tubular format allows creamier sauces to settle inside each ring, delivering an explosion of flavor with every bite.
Fusilloni
If you love fusilli, you will adore fusilloni: short pasta shaped into large spirals, in a much more generous version. Appreciated for their twisted structure and substantial thickness, these southern Italian pasta shapes are designed to hold the richest and most textured sauces. Whether paired with meat, cheese, or vegetable sauces, or baked into oven dishes, they bring incomparable indulgence to every recipe.
Gluten-Free Penne
To ensure pasta remains a pleasure everyone can enjoy, this gluten-free tube-shaped pasta is carefully crafted from white corn flour, yellow corn flour, and white rice flour. Designed to suit all diets, these penne make no compromise on quality and maintain a firm, pleasant texture. They are ideal for coating generous sauces such as Bolognese or carbonara, creating delicious baked dishes, or preparing flavorful cold pasta salads.
