Academia Barilla is a line of ultra-premium restaurant-quality pasta. Of 100% Italian Origin, the pasta is made with Italian Aureo durum wheat, a single high quality grain variety developed by Barilla. The pasta is extruded with 100% bronze dies, instead of more commonly used teflon. This gives the pasta a rough, homemade texture that allows sauces to cling to the pasta, delivering maximum flavor in every bite. The line consists of four of the most common Italian pasta cuts – spaghetti, linguine, penne rigate, and farfalle.
Bialetti’s new Mineral DS Cookware is nothing short of impressive. You’ll know when you see the surface of this cookware that it’s different than the others. The surface has micro-divots that allow for even oil distribution. This feature creates a better sear, and also improves the release with less contact between the pan and the food. This makes it suitable for both delicate foods like fish as well as “sturdier” foods like meat. And, it can be used on multiple surfaces, including gas, electric, glass and even induction cooktops!
