The Poschiavo mill and pasta factory began in the hands of Augustinian nuns in Poschiavo, Switzerland. By the late 19th century, the Fisler family acquired the property and today the fifth generation of Fislers run the business, still in Poschiavo. Located just north of the region of Lombardy, Italy, at a high elevation of 3300 feet in the southeastern canton of Grisons, Switzerland. Durum wheat is coarsely ground and mixed with local mountain spring water. The extra-long pasta dries slowly in the mill's attic for about a week, then packed by hand in brilliant red and blue paper. This fine Swiss wheat and water makes for a toothy, nutty pasta that allows sauce to cling and coat each strand. Add a few extra minutes to your typical cooking time for this pasta.

Mia Q. ★★★★★

The texture is spot-on—firm enough to hold the sauce without turning mushy, and it has that lovely nutty undertone you only get from proper slow-dried pasta. I picked up a pack on a whim and now I'm wondering how the fifth generation of this family keeps making it taste so reliably good.

David W. ★★★★★

The texture is spot-on—firm enough to hold a hearty sauce without turning mushy, and the 500-gram bag lasted us through two full dinners. Knowing it’s made by the same family since the late 1800s gives it a nice story to go with the taste.

Natalie ★★★★★

Finally, a spaghetti that actually holds onto the sauce the way it should — the rough bronze-die surface makes all the difference. Cooked perfectly al dente in exactly 9 minutes, and you can taste the heritage in every bite. This is the real deal for a Sunday ragù.
