Foglie d'ulivo (olive leaf) durum pasta with spinach, 500 g

We bring you a true, authentic type of pasta from Puglia from the Terre dei Trulli manufactory: this is Foglie d'Ulivo agli Spinaci , meaning olive leaf pasta with spinach, which carries the spirit of Southern Italy.

Terre dei Trulli, a family business based in Alberobello (Puglia) and deeply rooted in local traditions, uses carefully selected ingredients and slow production methods to create premium quality Puglia specialties such as sweet and savory taralli and tarallini bruschettas or rustic durum pasta.

This special pasta resembles the leaves of the olive tree, known in Puglia (and other regions) as foglie d'ulivo. Its elongated, slightly flattened shape resembles the slender leaves of an olive branch - a very nice symbol of Puglia's olive-rich landscapes. In this version, the pasta is colored with 2% dried spinach, which gives it a bright green hue and a touch of vegetal freshness.

Thanks to the traditional artisanal process and slow drying, the pasta retains its firm, almost fresh texture even after cooking. Its rough surface holds sauces well, making it ideal for a variety of toppings. Try it simply with butter and parmesan, or make it even more delicious with a light vegetable pesto, rustic tomato sauce or even a mushroom and cream ragu. The shape holds just enough sauce in its grooves to make every bite delicious.

Whether as the centerpiece of a cozy family dinner or a special dish for your guests, this special olive leaf pasta offers true Puglia tradition – elegant, delicious and rooted in centuries of culinary heritage.
