12 per Case

Croxetti originated in the Middle Ages, when cooks of noble Ligurian families would press a thin sheet of pasta between two wooden molds engraved with the family's coat of arms on one side and symbols on the other.

Quite often the symbol stamped on the second side was the Christian cross, thereby giving the pasta its name.

Alta Valle Scrivia is an artiginal producer of pasta located near Genoa. Their Croxetti are stamped with a stalk of wheat.

The shape and texture of Croxetti make them ideally suited to hold substantial sauces such as Pesto Genovese, Walnut sauce, or fish sauce.

Each bag contains 1.1 pounds or 500 grams of Croxetti Pasta by Alta Valle Scrivia.
