Pearl couscous (sometimes called Israeli couscous in the States) came to Greece from the Eastern Mediterranean. Women would patiently roll out the little balls of pasta to then prepare a filling meal. Agrozimi has kept this tradition, continuing to make the pasta by hand with the finest durum wheat semolina and fresh spring water from their village of Arávissos, with slow, natural drying. By using freshly pasteurized eggs and milk instead of powdered, they ensure a higher-quality, richer flavor.

We just love this versatile pasta! You can find a deliciously authentic Greek recipe on the inside of the label or just add a couple of tablespoons to turn any salad or vegetable dish into a filling meal. The 500gr. package translates to 1.1lbs., 10% more than the standard pasta packs. While there is a suggested cooking time on the pack, try it for yourself and cook to taste, especially if you like your pasta “al dente”.

Importantly, there are no preservatives, additives, artificial flavors nor colorants.
