Wide, flat ribbons of pasta made the old-school way—from Australian-grown, certified organic spelt and pure water. This fettuccine is slow-dried and bronze extruded by L’Abruzzese in South Australia, giving it a hearty, silky texture and a slightly nutty flavour that pairs beautifully with creamy sauces, sautéed mushrooms, or a simple olive oil and herb finish.
About the Maker
L’Abruzzese has been handcrafting pasta in Adelaide since 1980. Their certified organic range is among the only lines in Australia to use locally grown organic grains, including spelt, durum and khorasan (kamut). The team uses traditional techniques: bronze dies for shaping and a 48-hour drying cycle to preserve flavour, texture and nutrition.
What is Spelt Fettuccine?
Spelt (Triticum spelta) is an ancient cousin of modern wheat, valued for its digestibility and nutty, slightly sweet flavour. While it contains gluten, many people find it gentler on their system than common wheat.

-
Made from organic spelt grown in Australia
