This golden-hued spaghetti is made from 100% certified organic Australian spelt and crafted by L’Abruzzese in South Australia using traditional pasta-making techniques. With its gentle nutty flavour, supple texture, and easier digestibility, this is a wholesome and flavourful alternative to conventional wheat pasta.

Extruded through bronze dies and air-dried slowly for 48 hours, the result is a silky, satisfying noodle with excellent sauce-gripping texture.

About the Maker

Founded in 1980 and still family-run, L’Abruzzese makes small-batch pasta in Adelaide, South Australia. They use traditional Italian methods—bronze extrusion and long, slow drying—while prioritising local, organic ingredients.

Their certified organic range is among the very few in Australia made entirely with Australian-grown organic flour, making it a rare find for those who value local food systems and clean, transparent supply chains.

What is Spelt Spaghetti?

Spelt is an ancient grain known for its slightly sweet, nutty flavour and high digestibility. It is a distant relative of modern wheat, but with a simpler genetic structure and often better tolerance for those sensitive to heavily refined grains.

This spaghetti is made using organic Australian spelt flour and water—nothing else. It’s kneaded, bronze extruded, and slow-dried to lock in both flavour and nutrition.

Culinary Uses

Spelt spaghetti is a versatile pantry staple. Try it with:

• Tomato sauces with fresh herbs

To cook: Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add pasta and cook for 9-11 minutes until al dente. Drain and serve immediately.
