Acini di Pepe (peppercorns) belong to the minute pasta family to be cooked in broth. This pasta shape was undoubtedly invented to stimulate the imagination of children who commonly eat this pasta in baby food and vegetable soups. It is shaped like peppercorns and is fun and appealing. It's especially good for preparing clear soups such as broths or consommé, enhanced with croutons or vegetables cut in julienne strips. This pasta can be used in thick creamy or velvety soups.
DeCecco has been committed to creating quality pasta without compromise since 1886, using the same traditional processing methods that were established 130 years ago. Pasta is created using coarse-grain semolina, cold mountain water, bronze drawn plates, and a traditional slow drying process to ensure a superior quality pasta.
