Sanniti Toasted Fregola Sarda fine semolina pasta — Pack of 2 (2 × 17.6 oz), golden nutty flavor, al dente texture

Crafted in Sardinia from organic durum wheat semolina and water, this toasted fregola (fregula tostada fina) offers a golden, nutty flavor and a springy, toothsome texture. Sold in a convenient pack of two 17.6 oz (500 g) bags, the pasta is produced by rolling semolina into tiny beads and toasting them to develop depth and aroma. Use it in soups, salads, or as a risotto-like side to showcase its ability to absorb flavor while staying pleasantly al dente.

How does Sanniti toasted fregola cook and what texture should I expect?

Fregola cooks more quickly than many long pastas because of its small size, usually reaching an al dente bite in about 10–12 minutes depending on the pot and heat. Toasting gives the beads a slightly firmer outer surface and a warm, toasty scent. When cooked correctly, each pearl separates and remains plump rather than turning mushy.

• Typical cook time: 9–12 minutes for al dente
• Toasting creates a slight nutty aroma and firmer exterior
• Rinsing is optional; simmer in sauce or broth for best flavor absorption

What recipes showcase fregola’s strengths?

Fregola performs well in recipes where small-grain pasta is preferred: brothy seafood stews, tomato-based ragùs, or warm grain salads. Its beads trap sauces and small ingredients like clams, chickpeas, or roasted vegetables, turning simple recipes into textural meals. It also stands in for couscous or orzo when you want more chew and toasted flavor.

• Seafood broths and cioppino-style dishes
• Vegetable ragùs and tomato-basil sautés
• Warm salads with olives, herbs, and citrus vinaigrettes

What are the ingredient and origin details I should know?

Sanniti Fregola Sarda is made from two simple ingredients: organic durum wheat semolina and water, and it contains gluten. The wheat is selected and grown in Sardinia, Italy, and the pasta is formed and toasted locally to preserve traditional Sardinian technique. The product is packaged as a pair of 17.6 oz (500 g) bags for value and convenience.

• Ingredients: organic durum wheat semolina, water
• Product of Sardinia, Italy — traditional toasting method
• Pack size: 2 bags of 17.6 oz (500 g) each

How should I store and use leftover fregola?

Keep unopened bags in a cool, dry place away from strong odors. After opening, transfer unused fregola to an airtight container to preserve the toasted aroma and prevent moisture absorption. Leftover cooked fregola can be chilled and reheated gently in a skillet with a splash of broth or tossed cold into a salad.

• Storage: cool, dry pantry; airtight container after opening
• Reheat: briefly in broth or sauté for best texture
• Leftovers: good for warm salads or quick reheats
