The Artisanal Fileja Pasta & Onion Sauce Gift Pack from Pastificio Fiorillo unites two authentic Calabrian specialities in one beautifully presented box: traditional Fileja pasta and a jar of ready red onion sauce. Designed to deliver a complete Italian first course with minimal effort, this pack is ideal as a thoughtful gift or for enjoying a gourmet meal at home.

Fileja is a typical pasta from Calabria, handcrafted from durum wheat semolina and shaped into long, twisted ribbons that naturally trap and hold sauce. Its rough, traditional texture absorbs flavour beautifully, making every bite rich and satisfying.

The onion sauce is prepared with red onions, tomatoes and natural aromatics, slow-cooked to achieve a balance of sweetness and savoury depth. When combined, the sauce clings perfectly to the curls of Fileja, creating a comforting, flavourful dish that reflects the character of southern Italy.

Whether for gifting, celebrating a special dinner or preparing a quick yet authentic meal, this pasta & sauce kit offers premium quality and convenience.
