Stelline Pasta 500g

Garofalo Stelline is a tiny, star-shaped pastina with a small hole at its centre, made from 100% durum wheat semolina and produced in Gragnano, Italy — a town with a centuries-long reputation as Italy's pasta-making capital. One of the most recognisable and universally loved small pasta formats, Stelline occupies a unique position in the Italian culinary tradition: a shape associated with comfort, simplicity, and the kind of unpretentious cooking that brings people to the table. Small in form but precise in execution, each star is consistent in size and structure — the result of the same careful production standards applied across the full Garofalo range.

Bronze-die cut for a porous surface that works across broth and sauce. Drawn through traditional bronze dies, the surface of each piece achieves the right level of porosity to adhere to condiments without becoming heavy or overloaded. In broth — the classic preparation — the stars absorb surrounding liquid gradually, remaining distinct and well-structured in the bowl. In simple sauce-based dishes, that same porosity ensures even the lightest dressing coats each piece fully. With a 5-minute cook time, Stelline is one of the fastest formats in the Garofalo range, making it an efficient and low-effort choice for any kitchen environment.

A versatile pastina for retail, family, and light menu applications. Stelline appeals across a wide range of contexts — from children's meals and family cooking to light starters and broth-based first courses in a restaurant setting. Supplied by Sapori in a 16 x 500g case, it is a practical choice for Kosher and vegan-certified retail, wholesale, and foodservice accounts across Cape Town and the Western Cape looking for an authentic Italian pastina with broad everyday appeal.
