While scholars attribute the early origins of noodles to ancient China, it was in the Mediterranean that the dried pasta we know and love today was refined. Pasta is one of the world’s most beloved comfort foods and a wonderful blank culinary canvas for an almost endless array of warm, baked and cold preparations. While each country has its own pasta-making traditions and regional specialties, certain classic noodle shapes like Lumachine Rigate, small snail shells, transcend borders and time. Turkey is ranks fifth in worldwide pasta production, and since 1922 Piyale has been one of the leading pasta brands in Turkey.
