Fileja is a type of pasta traditionally made in the province of Vibo Valentia, Calabria, where our producer, Pastificio Fiorillo, is based. It is considered the most famous pasta variety in Calabria.

In the local dialect, it is also known as maccarruni or filedda. Fileja is made from durum wheat semolina and water. The pasta is shaped by wrapping a sheet around a thin cane (dinaciulu), creating hollow tubes about 20 cm long and 3 to 4 mm thick.

Fileja is often chosen for typical Calabrian dishes, especially on Sundays or holidays. It is commonly served with a minced pork sauce or a simple tomato sauce. For those who enjoy spicy flavors, it can be paired with Calabrian 'nduja’ (spicy sausage) sauce.
