The pasta factory "Lucanella"
is located in the South of Basilicata in the town
of Chiaromonte, the heart of the Pollino National
Park.
Three young men with the strong desire
to preserve those old, local traditions that run the
risk of disappearing , established this artisan company.
Thereby , they devoted their passion to produce fresh
and dry pasta in special formats, having the same
characteristics of the home made ones.
Among these special formats, Rascatiello
and Miskiglio emerge.
Rascatiello is obtained
by finger pressing a nut shape dough, to obtain a
peculiar streaking that characterizes it by shape
and beauty.
Miskiglio is the name
of an ancient flour, composed of a mixture (from which
the name Miskiglio is derived) of fava bean, ceci,
barley, oats and wheat.
The origin of this pasta, that takes
the same form of the traditional rascatiello, is very
old and is typical of the area in which the pasta
factory is operating. In ancient times, the poor people
of the area used to eat Miskiglio during the festivities
of Christmas and Easter only.
The entire production process is hand
made, with respect of all the stringent hygienic rules,
in order to assure the safety of consumers.?
