Caldes de Montbuí, thermal town
Caldes de Montbuí, in Vallès Oriental, 20 km from Barcelona, is a beautiful Roman town known for thermal baths, Catalan gastronomy, and a centuries-old tradition.
Production process
It is like traveling back in time in a time machine: manual processes, wood, old facilities… and people, with no robotization of the process.
Production begins with a kneading machine (over 100 years old), which mixes the wheat semolina with the thermal water from Caldes de Montbuí, the only raw materials used. This type of production is what guarantees the success of their pasta.
They are then dried in wooden cabinets for 48 hours and finally packaged. The noodles and spaghetti are still made by hand.
Limited production is what guarantees their maximum quality, something industrial production cannot achieve.
