Origin and Heritage
San Marti Fideo Cortado No. 1 hails from Caldes de Montbui, a Roman spa town north of Barcelona, celebrated for its unique thermal waters. Sanmartí, a venerable pasta house established in 1700, utilizes these mineral-rich waters along with high-quality durum wheat semolina to craft this exquisite pasta, ensuring an authentic taste deeply rooted in the Catalan culinary tradition.
Production Methodology
This angel hair pasta, also known as fideo cortado, is produced through a meticulous traditional process. The semolina is mixed with the thermal water to form a dough, which is then extruded through bronze dies. This method imparts a rough texture ideal for sauce adhesion. The pasta is then cut into short strands, typically 1–3 cm, and dried slowly at low temperatures to preserve its rich flavors and texture.
Culinary Versatility
San Marti Fideo Cortado is a staple in many traditional Spanish dishes. It shines in the beloved Sopa de Fideo, a comforting noodle soup made with broth and vegetables. The pasta also plays a key role in Fideuà, a Valencian dish similar to paella that swaps rice for noodles, often paired with seafood.
Beyond traditional recipes, this pasta lends itself to numerous modern adaptations. Use it in cold salads, toss it lightly with olive oil and herbs as a side dish, or incorporate it into soups and stews for added texture and flavor.
