🍝 Characteristics of Bottega Senese’s Pici.
Bottega Senese selects pasta that strictly respects local tradition, focusing on the quality of Tuscan raw materials:
-
Composition: These are durum wheat semolina pici (not egg pici, as the most authentic Sienese recipe calls for), selected from small artisan pasta makers in the area that use local grains.
-
Format: Typically sold in 500g packages, they are presented as “spaghettoni” dried at a low temperature. This slow process keeps the organoleptic properties of the grain intact and provides the rough texture needed to hold the sauce.
-
Price: In the store and on the online shop, the cost is around €4.50 per pack, an honest price for a product from a controlled supply chain.
📍 Where it is located and what to expect
La bottega Senese is a true treasure chest of Tuscan excellence (IGP and DOP). In addition to classic pici, it is the ideal place to compose the “perfect kit.”
-
The Pici: The solid, wrinkled base.
-
The Sauce: We often sell paired with the legendary Val di Chiana Aglione or Cinta Senese ragu, products that complete the experience.
-
The Wine: Since they are also a stocked wine shop, they can recommend a Chianti Classico or Brunello to go with the dish.
💡 A little advice for preparation.
The dry artisanal pici you find in the store have a very firm texture. When cooking them, be sure to use plenty of water and don’t be in a hurry: the cooking time may vary but remain generous to allow the heart of the spaghetti to cook evenly without losing its “al dente” texture.
