About Pastificio Liguori
Pastificio Liguori is a prestigious Italian pasta producer based in Gragnano, near Naples - the historic birthplace of dried pasta. With heritage dating back to 1820, Liguori represents over 200 years of pasta-making excellence, using traditional bronze die extrusion and slow drying methods that create superior texture and sauce adhesion. Gragnano holds IGP (Protected Geographical Indication) status for pasta production, meaning Pastificio Liguori pasta carries the authentic mark of this legendary pasta town. The unique microclimate of Gragnano, where mountain air meets sea breezes, has been recognized for centuries as ideal for drying pasta naturally. The brand offers classic Italian shapes including Bucatini (thick hollow spaghetti perfect for Amatriciana), Casarecce (twisted tubes that catch chunky sauces), Mezzi Rigatoni (ridged tubes for hearty ragùs), Fusilli (spirals that grip lighter sauces), and Orecchiette (ear-shaped pasta from southern Italy tradition). Bronze die extrusion creates a rough, porous surface that traditional Teflon dies cannot replicate. This texture allows sauces to cling beautifully rather than sliding off, while slow drying at low temperatures preserves the wheat flavour and ensures proper cooking characteristics. Grocefully helps UK shoppers find Pastificio Liguori premium pasta at competitive prices across supermarkets, making authentic Gragnano pasta accessible for everyday Italian cooking.
