Pasta insert for the Leonardo – Torkio OK hand crank machine

On the guitar – that means something like “guitar style”.
Traditionally, spaghetti was made with a “guitar”. The guitar is a wooden box over which metal strings are stretched tightly, like a real musical guitar. Place the strip of pasta dough over these strings and press against the wires with a pasta roller so that the spaghetti falls down in strips in a square shape.
This die replicates exactly this traditional square shape.

Die only suitable for this pasta press!

Why bronze:
Bronze dies were the traditional way of making pasta. The pasta made “al bronzo” can only be found rarely and usually only in selected delicatessens.
By pressing the pasta dough through the bronze dies, the surface of the pasta is slightly roughened and the pasta becomes more grippy. This allows the pasta to absorb the sauce, flavors and spices better later.

Storage:
Do you have several bronze matrices and are you looking for storage to protect the matrix from dust and darkening due to the effects of light? Then we recommend our storage systems, which you can also find in our range.
