Discover Risoni (sometimes called orzo-style pasta) from Pastificio Benedetto Cavalieri — small, grain-shaped pasta made with 100% durum wheat semolina. It's not just pastina; its texture is rich, creamy and versatile. Great in broths, sauces, or even cooked “risotto-style.” 

Key Information

Taste, Texture & Serving Suggestions

• The grain-shaped form and durum semolina give Risoni a firm bite yet a creamy feel when cooked — a wonderful change from ordinary small pastas. 

• In broth (chicken, vegetable, fish) it absorbs flavour beautifully without getting mushy.

• In place of rice: try it “risotto” style — sauté onions or garlic, toast the Risoni, then add stock gradually.

• A traditional recommendation: pair with red codfish sauce (a Salento recipe), especially around festive meals. 

Why It Stands Out

• Artisan production in Puglia, Italy, by Benedetto Cavalieri, a producer known for high-quality pasta. 

• Pure ingredients and simple recipe: durum wheat semolina + water, giving full semolina flavour.

• Balanced nutrition: good protein; low fat; no salt added; works well for wholesome meals.
