Why we love it
Cavatelli pasta is a traditional Italian shape known for its small, elongated form and slight central indentation, resembling tiny open clams. This unique design makes cavatelli perfect for capturing rich, hearty sauces, from slow-cooked meat ragù to "allo scoglio". Their versatility means they pair beautifully with everything.
Our artisanal cavatelli is made in Puglia using only the finest quality durum wheat flour and water - no eggs, no additives. This makes it a perfect choice for vegans and vegetarians seeking an authentic pasta experience. Following traditional techniques, the pasta is shaped by hand or bronze die, then slow-dried at low temperatures to preserve its nutritional value and deliver a superior al dente texture.
Whether you’re preparing a comforting southern Italian dish or exploring new flavour combinations, our vegan-friendly, artisan cavatelli offers the ideal base. Taste the difference of real, small-batch Italian pasta with every bite.
The artisan who made it
When Nicola Pedote started working as a pastry chef 50 years ago, he didn't imagine that his family's history would have the smell of vanilla and the taste of flour.
In 2001, the Pedote and Fanizzi families decided to continue the legacy of their father Nicola, mixing three fundamental ingredients: the typical features of the territory, the artisan techniques of the past and the innovation of modern technologies. Nowadays, they choose only quality ingredients, ensuring respect for traditional recipes.
The research for new flavours and new combinations of ingredients, searching among the recipes of the Italian and Apulian gastronomic tradition, in particular their taralli are prepared following their grandmothers' recipes, paying particular attention to the choice of ingredients and their provenance and are prepared with 99% Apulian ingredients, this is the way Gran Forno celebrate Puglia and its flavours.
