Dececco - Fusilli Lunghi Bucati - N.5

Experience a captivating masterpiece of southern Italian culinary history with De Cecco Fusilli Lunghi Bucati No. 5. Originating in the sun-drenched region of Campania, this extraordinary shape translates old-world artisan heritage to your kitchen. Historically, master pasta makers crafted fusilli by rapidly twisting a delicate strand of spaghetti around a hot knitting needle or spindle (fuso) with a highly skilled hand. 

De Cecco replicates this fascinating geometry with long, elegant hollow ribbons spun into a tight, continuous spiral coil. Made using premium durum wheat semolina and pure, cold mountain spring water, the dough is drawn through coarse traditional bronze dies and dried extremely slowly at low temperatures. This meticulous process yields an exceptionally rough, chalky, and porous matte finish designed to absorb and lock in complex sauces. The hollow center combined with the external spring-like spirals delivers a magnificent dual texture, making it the definitive, authentic choice for pairing with heavy Neapolitan ragù, rich alla Genovese onion meat sauces, or vegetable sauces loaded with sautéed aubergines and peppers.
