Eliche is a variety of pasta that is shaped like a corkscrew. It is traditionally made by rolling a rod over strips of pasta to create the classic spiral shape.

This pasta pairs especially well with lighter sauces like pesto and can be enjoyed as a salad.

For many generations, Pastificio Venturino has been producing top quality artisan pasta in southern Italy using only the best Italian durum wheat and traditional techniques. The slow drying process at low temperature is important for the preservation of texture, colour and taste. The rough porous texture of the finished product is ideal in combining any flavouring or sauce.

As part of the modernisation of the brand, Pastificio Venturino now also produces specialty pasta from high quality Australian ingredients and a range of pasta sauces made from Australian Roma tomatoes.
