Fileja Calabresi 500g – Pastificio Fiorillo

Experience the true flavour of Calabria with Pastificio Fiorillo’s Fileja Calabresi, also known as Maccheroni Calabresi. This traditional pasta is made from just two ingredients — 100% Italian durum wheat semolina and water — and follows a production process faithful to Calabrian heritage.

Each piece is bronze-drawn, giving the pasta a naturally rough surface that holds onto sauces exceptionally well. The pasta is then slowly dried, a method that preserves its nutritional value, texture, and the authentic aroma of durum wheat.

Fileja is instantly recognisable for its curved, tubular shape, achieved by rolling the dough around a thin rod, a technique inspired by handmade Calabrian pasta such as the traditional dinaculo. This shape makes Fileja perfect for rich and robust sauces — tomato-based, spicy, or meat-based — and especially delicious with spicy ’Nduja sauce, a classic Calabrian pairing.

Pastificio Fiorillo employs an innovative dry pasteurisation system, ensuring the pasta retains the same organoleptic qualities as homemade pasta while guaranteeing exceptional quality and consistency.

The 500g pack is ideal for family meals, special occasions, or anyone wishing to enjoy a true taste of Southern Italy.
