Bucatini di Gragnano IGP 500 g (Case of 24) — Di Martino

In short

The Bucatini di Gragnano IGP by Pastificio Di Martino are a long, hollow-section pasta made in Gragnano (Naples) from durum wheat semolina and bronze-drawn. The 2.7 mm diameter and the central hole make them perfect for the classic sauces of Lazio and Campania — amatriciana above all. Professional 500 g pack, case of 24, designed for foodservice. LAPA distributes them to restaurants, pizzerias and delis in Switzerland with deliveries to Zurich, Geneva, Lugano and Bern.

What bucatini are

Bucatini are a long, hollow-section pasta, classed among the tubular pastas alongside ziti and maccheroni. They look like long spaghetti pierced by a central hole (the "buco" they are named after) running the full length. This hollow structure is their signature: during cooking the hole holds part of the sauce while the porous outer surface catches it outside. The result is a richer, more succulent bite than solid spaghetti, with a firm, satisfying chew.

Gragnano IGP Pasta

Pasta di Gragnano is a Campanian excellence recognised with the Protected Geographical Indication (IGP) mark and produced in the metropolitan area of Naples. As early as the 16th century, Gragnano offered the ideal climatic conditions for the natural drying and large-scale preservation of pasta.

Two processes define its quality. Bronze drawing gives the surface a slightly rough, porous texture, far better at holding sauces than smooth dies. Slow drying at low temperature is essential to building the gluten network of the dough: this gives the pasta its cooking resistance and the celebrated al dente bite. By law the moisture of the finished product does not exceed 12.5%.

Pastificio Di Martino

Pastificio Di Martino is one of Gragnano's historic names, a guardian of Campania's pasta-making tradition and among the leading IGP-recognised producers. Its philosophy combines selected quality durum wheat semolina, bronze drawing and long, gentle drying times — a method that guarantees wheat aroma, amber colour and the reliable cooking hold professional kitchens depend on.

Uses in the kitchen

• Amatriciana: the classic pairing. The central hole and rough surface hold the guanciale, tomato and pecorino sauce. Toss off the heat to keep it creamy and flavourful.
• Cacio e pepe: the porosity binds the pecorino-and-pepper cream perfectly.
• Gricia: guanciale and pecorino without tomato, where the cooking hold makes the difference.
• Rich sauces: ragù and structured meat sauces find the ideal grip in the hole and roughness.
• Baked: in timbales and gratins, where bucatini withstand prolonged cooking.

Pairings

Pairs with guanciale, pancetta and pecorino romano, quality peeled tomatoes, black pepper and extra virgin olive oil. For meat sauces, excellent with Neapolitan ragù. On the wine side, it goes well with structured, full-bodied reds, in line with the Lazio and Campania tradition.
