Chifferini

Originally from the southern island of Sicily, this half-moon-shaped, ridged pasta has a very long drying process — resulting in a strong color and a rich, hearty flavor.

All of the HemisFares™ dry pastas are made by local, artisanal producers in Italy using traditional Gragnano style methods — the highest quality production process for pasta. The machines they use cannot produce more than a few hundred pounds of pasta an hour (compared to tons of pasta at industrial companies). The pasta is then dried for 12–14 hours (compared to 4–6 hours) at a lower temperature to preserve the authentic flavor and natural nutritional value of the wheat used.
My thoughts
The only other noodles I've ever found that are this good were in the freezer. These noodles have a good homemade flavor. They cooked perfect al dente without getting mushy. They were also good warmed up the next day for lunch. I had never heard of HemisFare pastas before this and had no idea what to expect. I did not know that this was a product of the Kroger brand as well.
