Product information

It is often thought that Vermicelli is a thin noodle pasta but in Italy Vermicelli is a long pasta cut that is actually slightly thicker than Spaghetti. Use in place of spaghetti if you want a robust long pasta to soak up a chunky sauce.

Premium Italian pasta maker Garofalo has been making high quality pasta since 1789 in Gragnano near Naples, the birth place of pasta in Italy.

Garofalo has always been a reference point for the high quality of its product and production processes, made now even more effective thanks to the combination of technology and century long artisan know how.

Pasta is simply made with water and durum wheat semolina and you can't produce excellent pasta if the best wheat is not used. It is the quality and quantity of gluten present primarily that determines the quality of the wheat. Garofalo uses only high quality robust durum wheat in its signature pasta ranges.

Garofalo pasta is formed through a bronze die this method allows a little friction on the surface of the pasta, which becomes slightly rough and porous allowing the sauce to cling and be absorbed into the pasta giving a delightful eating experience!

a family favourite

We all like this pasta as it is thicker than normal - beware the vermicelli name which normally equates to very fine pasta and this is the complete antithesis. At 3 packs for £3 this is a real bargain for a high quality product. Bear in mind it takes slightly longer to cook than the manufacturers recommendation.

Not Vermicelli As We Know It

It is listed as Kosher and as such, I use it as lockshen. This is nothing like it - far too thick. It is normally produced in nests - see Morrisons Vermicelli, for example. Nothing wrong with the pasta per se but its not vermicelli.

product has changed

The first time I purchased these, not that long ago, it was thin vermicelli. The most recent was thicker than spaghetti, which ruined the dish (I thought I would try it). This is just expensive spaghetti. I hope they improve it as it's the only wheat vermicelli in the site.

Great thick pasta

I love this. Wonderful, thick pasta, thicker than the usual spaghetti and just great to eat. Still swirls round your fork and has a great texture.

fabulous

wonderful texture and thickness, one of my favourites to use for prawn dishes. I wouldn't say this is thick, it is narrow and dense with a wonderful bite. we love love love it.

Really good thick pasta!

Garofalo is a really good brand of pasta - I’m Italian and love pasta, I eat it every day, and I can really tell the difference between brands. Vermicelli is among my favourite type of pasta, it’s a thicker version of spaghetti, so extra consistency!
