FREGULA SARDA
PASTA
Made from high quality durum wheat semolina and water, this pasta is shaped through bronze dies, slow-dried and lightly toasted. This traditional process gives fregula its light brown colour and tasty flavour.
Known as Arabic couscous, fregula was introduced to Sardinia by explorers from North Africa and became part of the local cuisine.

PREPARATION
Pour the fregula into salted boiling water (1L water for 100g of pasta). Stir several times and let it boil. Once cooked, drain and season to taste.
COOKING TIPS
- Fregula is a versatile pasta shape that absorbs well flavours. It is ideal with seafood and shell fish based sauces.
- Fregula can be cooked like in boiling water like a classic pasta shape and then tossed with a sauce or it can be cooked like a risotto rice in the broth of the recipe.
- When cooked in boiling water drain thoroughly, tip into a bowl then sprinkle a few drops of olive oil over it and toss to coat evenly. This will stop the beads sticking together as they cool.
- If using fregula in a salad, drain and spread on a baking sheet to cool.
COOKING IDEAS
Try fregula on its own, served simply with olive oil, sea salt and a dusting of cheese. Delicious in soups, or combined with vegetables and fresh herbs, as a side dish with grilled meat, fish and shellfish.

We are committed to minimising the amount of packaging used for our products, and are constantly exploring sustainable options, with zero plastic our ultimate goal. We measure the impact of our packaging using the three criteria below:
| Packaging to Product Weight Ratio | 5.8% |
| Recyclable Content | 100% |
| Plastic Content | 1.1% |
Our fregula is packed in transparent plastic bags with paper label. We are planning to introduce paper packaging or similar in the near future and phase out the current plastic packaging.
