Busiate – Pasta made from ancient Sicilian grains

The soul of Sicily in a shape that embodies its tradition

Busiate represent the meeting of one of western Sicily’s most iconic pasta shapes with ancient grains grown within the Archaeological Park of Selinunte—a place where history, landscape, and agriculture have coexisted for centuries.

Crafted from Tumminia, Perciasacchi, and Russello wheat, these busiate are the result of a project dedicated to preserving the bond between the land and its historic crops. Their origins tell the story of an authentic Sicily: fields overlooking the temples of Selinunte, traditions passed down through generations, and knowledge that continues to evolve.

Production is overseen by the expert hands of Filippo Drago, a master miller and a key figure in the revival of ancient Sicilian grain varieties. His work has restored value to grains that were once widespread across the island and are now highly prized by both Italian and international fine-dining establishments.

Their signature twisted shape is perfect for holding Sicilian-style pesto, seafood-based dressings, and Mediterranean sauces, showcasing the quality of a semolina derived from a controlled supply chain deeply rooted in the local territory.
