Pasta producers Deux-Sèvres

Once upon a time, Rodolphe Neaud, a cheesemaker, swapped milk for cereals and launched the first local artisanal pasta company in the Deux-Sèvres region: Melle et une pâte. Made from local cereals, the pasta is now available in some thirty recipes, some of which are egg-based, organic or with the Bleu Blanc Coeur label. Mafaldines, campaniles, gnochetti, macaroni and tagliatelle are flavored with Espelette chili, seaweed, nettles, angelica... to combine flavor and health benefits. Yummy!
