Tasting
A ritual to be followed step by step
Tasting is a sure way of testing for firmness during cooking. In order to be cooked, the pasta must meet specific requirements of consistency, elasticity and flavour, be sweet without any bitterness. Since 1893, the year Filippo Giovanni De Cecco was awarded the gold medal at the Universal Expo of Chicago, the “firmness of form after cooking”, or rather the ability to maintain its properties once cooked, has been one of the characteristics making our pasta famous throughout the world.
Tasting
Cooked or firm isn’t just a question of taste
“At what point is it perfectly cooked?”. When we’re asked this question, there’s only one answer: “When the white centre disappears.” For us, pasta is cooked to perfection when the white part inside has disappeared. Perfect cooking, which we check using the “glass test”, can easily be tested at home by breaking a single piece of pasta in half. Only if the pasta is perfectly cooked will it show its real firmness of form, without relying on the help of a more rigid part inside to support it.
