The Consorzio sets minimum standards to be able to qualify for this mark and Pio Tosini far exceeds each standard. Their whole process starts with strict selection of the highest possible quality raw pork, each piece hand-salted and cured for longer than the Consorzio requires. Instead of 13 months, they cure a minimum of 17 months and more often up to 20 months. Why? The extra time allows for slow and even salt penetration and assures the sweetness of the hams. Made using four simple ingredients: fresh pork, salt, air and time. Each ham that is imported to the US is handpicked by the two owners Nicola or Giovanni, the founder (Ferrante Tosini s) great grandsons. At Pio Tosini each ham is trimmed and de-boned by hand, the final step to personally assure the product we import is top quality.

Today, Gentile preserves the traditional production methods and the attention to every detail from selection of raw materials to the production processes. The semolina chosen is strictly of Italian origin and of the best quality. Among the selected wheat varieties is the renowned Senatore Cappelli. All wheat used in Pastificio Gentile pasta is single-sourced and processed with care and respect at the Ferro Brothers Mill in Campobasso (in the Molise region of southern Italy). The excellent raw material allows for the production of a premium quality pasta and the low temperature drying method known as Cirillo preserves its distinct aroma and texture. LINGUINE SCIALATIELLI PENNETTE RIGATE Each of Pastificio Gentile s pasta shapes are bronze cut, meaning that the molds or dies used in production are made of bronze. The bronze mold creates a rougher more porous pasta giving the pasta a homemade quality. As a result, sauces and seasonings do not slide off of the pasta as they would with a smoother type.
