I Tortelli Maremmani di Silvia Bargagli are the keepers of the tradition of fresh homemade pasta. Pasta is produced only once a week, specifically for each order, ensuring freshness and quality in every bite. The expiration date is 7 days from the day of production, and the order is shipped the Monday after production, ensuring that the tortelli will arrive at its destination with a 1-3 day expiration date. The pasta workshop Silvia Bargagli was born from Silvia Bargagli and her son Nicola’s passion for local products and traditions. Founded in 2010 with the goal of preserving the art of homemade pasta making following the ancient recipes of grandmothers, the workshop represents a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. I Tortelli Maremmani by Silvia Bargagli are distinguished by their soft and elastic dough that holds perfectly when cooked, in order to give a pleasant texture to the palate.
