Rustichella d’Abruzzo Orecchiette Pugliesi are a traditional Italian pasta shape inspired by the culinary heritage of Puglia.

The name orecchiette means “little ears” in Italian, referring to the pasta’s small, rounded and slightly concave shape. The center captures sauce, vegetables and small pieces of sausage, while the thicker edges maintain a firm and satisfying al dente texture.

Made with durum wheat semolina and water, Rustichella d’Abruzzo pasta is extruded through bronze dies and slowly air-dried at low temperatures. This traditional production method gives the pasta a naturally rough surface that holds sauce more effectively than smooth industrial pasta. 

What Are Orecchiette?

Orecchiette are a traditional short pasta shape associated with Puglia in southern Italy.

Their name literally means “little ears” because of their distinctive round and concave shape. Traditionally, the pasta is formed by dragging or pressing small pieces of dough to create a rough interior and thicker edge.

In Abruzzo, a similar shape is sometimes called Orecchie di Prete, meaning “priest’s ears.”

Rustichella d'Abruzzo is the italian premium brand of artisan pasta in 70 countries in the world.

In 1924 Gaetano Sergiacomo, maternal grandfather of the current owners Gianluigi and Maria Stefania Peduzzi and son of famous millers who worked in the Vestina area, decided to exit the family business, establishing the pasta factory "Pastificio Gaetano Sergiacomo"​ in Penne. In 1980 under the watchful and far-sighted eye of Piero Peduzzi, the Pastificio Sergiacomo becomes Rustichella d'Abruzzo, guaranteeing both quality and authenticity. The Peduzzi Siblings have concentrated their energies on creating the company's image and contributing to making the name of Rustichella d'Abruzzo as synonymous of international quality and excellence.

Since 1924 true family tradition, because to make a pasta is a family matter!
