Cipriani Industria SRL (Italy)

Imported by : Chenab Impex (Mumbai, India)

Pasta, pasta. Dry pasta, fresh pasta. Pasta is without doubt the most important of our national foodstuffs, it has become the trademark of Italy, the one product that the whole world identifies with our country. The vast pasta industry has a responsibility that is absolutely irreplaceable; it has the job of providing healthy nutrition at a low cost. The quality of manufactured plain pasta has improved considerably over recent years. Large scale manufacturers need no longer envy the quality of pasta produced by smaller home industries, so popular amongst spaghetti fans. This is however, only true for dry, plain, durum wheat pasta.

The situation is rather different for egg pastas and especially for freshly made egg pasta, where the magic word "fresh" has helped open a market that has been flooded with poor quality products. The pasta produced by small, home industry pasta makers has a humidity level that exceeds forty per cent and therefore it does not swell during cooking. This kind of pasta is also full of bacteria, for which the humidity and egg content provide an ideal culture medium. In addition to these drawbacks, the flour that is used is nearly always a soft wheat type and therefore has a low gluten content and poor nutritional values. The rolling process is also very limited as the pasta is often simply passed once or twice under a roller or at times even under a press.

 >> Lenta Lavorazione Pasta

Now, we introduce Rummo Lenta Lavorazione pasta, an extremely exceptional line that is made with the highest quality durum wheat grown by the finest estate producers throughout the world. "Lenta Lavorazione" Pasta literally translated means "slow process"; which happens to be the guiding ideology to Rummo's successful line of pastas from Italy. The result is a superior pasta that cooks up perfectly, holds better over time and rediscovers the long-lost flavors associated with the time-honored tradition of artisanal Italian pasta making.

This line of premium pasta is packed carefully in fine, gourmet store packaging. This pasta is produced using superior durum wheat (14.5% protein), bronze dies, and is dried slowly over a period of time in the slow traditional process ( hence lenta – slow). What is more, the price points are exciting and the shapes we offer are eggless, so fit to serve the vegetarian.

High protein content means: use of high quality durum wheats, firmness and resistance to bite.

Dryden & Palmer (USA)

Imported by : Chenab Impex (Mumbai, India)
 

 >> Gourmet Tea & Coffee Sweetner

Rock Candy is the product of the further refining by recrystallization of pure cane sugar. In fact, it is the purest form of sugar available because all impurities are excluded as the large crystals form. The crystal growth is based on the particular characteristics of sugar (sucrose) chemistry and cannot be done with the various "sugar free" substitutes seen in the market.

Rock Candy is made by a process of crystalization, the same process that produces quartz and diamonds in nature (with a different ingredient, of course). It is made by busting apart the sugar (sucrose) molecular crystal lattice and then allowing it to re-form in conditions that produce larger, purer crystals. A hot, saturated solution of cane sugar and water is poured into large tanks. Careful supervision of the cooling process produces the larger crystals which are then harvested as Rock Candy Strings, sticks, and loose crystals for packaging.

For centuries Rock Candy has been recognized as having marked therapeutic and preservative qualities. In fact, in the West, sugar was used only as a medicine or preservative up to the middle of the 18th century when people "discovered" it made a sweet treat as well. The earliest known date that white sugar was refined was about 200 C.E. so it is probable that the further refining into what was later known as "Sugre Candie" was at about that time.

There are many references to what we now call Rock Candy in literature. There are several references to it in the poems of the Persian poet Jalal-ad-Din Rumi who lived in Turkey in the middle 1200's. One early English reference in 1584 seems to sum up the virtues of Rock Candy where it is quoted "White sugar is not so good for phlegume, as that which is called Sugar Candie." Shakespeare in Henry IV (1596) referred to its therapeutic value as a throat soother for long winded talkers.
