Busiata
Our Busiata is a uniquely Sicilian pasta shape, artisan-crafted with semolina from organic ancient grains grown on the hills of Ragusa. The name comes from the buso, the thin iron rod around which the dough is hand-wrapped to create the characteristic helical spiral. Bronze drawing further enhances the surface porosity, making it perfect for capturing pestos, fish sauces and rich condiments. After slow, gentle drying it retains a full wheat flavour with hints of Mediterranean scrubland. This shape embodies centuries of Sicilian culinary wisdom and delivers an authentic taste experience impossible to replicate through industrial production.

Busiata with Trapanese Pesto
Prepare Trapanese pesto by blending ripe tomatoes, toasted almonds, basil, garlic and Tenuta Chiaramonte extra virgin olive oil. Toss the freshly drained busiata and finish with a grating of pecorino. The busiata spiral embraces every drop of pesto.
Busiata with Fish Sauce
Prepare a sauce with prawns, cherry tomatoes, garlic, parsley and a splash of white wine, sautéing everything in extra virgin olive oil. Toss the busiata in the sauce and serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a grating of lemon zest. A dish that captures the flavours of the Sicilian sea.
