Bronze pasta die Gargati Veneti: history and regional tradition

The bronze pasta die Gargati Veneti is the perfect accessory to recreate at home one of the most traditional pasta shapes from Veneto. Gargati are short, ridged macaroni, similar to bigoli but thicker and more rustic, with a rough surface that holds sauces perfectly. Their origin dates back to rural Venetian households, where they were prepared with flour, water, and eggs using manual presses and artisanal fresh pasta dies.

With this pasta maker die, you can produce uniform and authentic gargati, with the typical consistency of bronze extruded pasta. The disc and mould in bronze ensure precision and durability, giving a real bronze-cut pasta with all the qualities of tradition.
