At Della Casa, we infuse our pasta with these vibrant chiles and spices to capture the essence of Mexican culinary traditions. The deep colors, bold flavors, and distinctive heat of Mexican chiles create a unique and exotic taste that transforms classic pasta into an unforgettable culinary experience

What types of spices are used in Della Casa Select Pasta?

We use all-natural spices to enhance the flavors of our pasta. Our carefully chosen spices ensure that each pasta variety offers an authentic, flavorful experience that celebrates the essence of Mexican cuisine.

What is the most popular chile-flavored pasta?

At Della Casa Select, we offer a range of chile-flavored pastas, each with a distinct taste and aroma. Our most popular flavor is Jalapeño Pasta, known for its bright and mildly spicy kick. The jalapeño, originally from Mexico, is now grown worldwide due to its flavorful profile and moderate heat level. The name "jalapeño" comes from Xalapa, the capital of Veracruz, Mexico. On the Scoville Scale, jalapeños range from medium to hot, making them perfect for those who enjoy a bit of spice.

Other popular flavors include Chipotle Pasta, which has a smoky, mildly sweet flavor. Chipotle chiles are dried, smoked jalapeños, widely used in Mexican cooking to add depth to both savory and sweet dishes. Native to Central America and Mexico, chipotles are primarily grown in states like Chihuahua, Veracruz, Oaxaca, and Sinaloa. In the U.S., they are cultivated in South Texas and southern New Mexico, with a mild to medium heat level on the Scoville Scale.

We also offer Poblano Pasta, featuring an earthy, green chile flavor similar to bell peppers. Poblano chiles, with their unique heart shape, are a traditional ingredient in many Mexican dishes and have a rich culinary history. They fall within the mild to medium range on the Scoville Scale, making them a great option for those who prefer a milder, yet flavorful, pasta experience.

Why choose Della Casa's Chorizo Pasta?

Our Chorizo Pasta is a vegetarian delight, crafted without any meat, yet packed with rich, authentic flavors. It features a blend of red paprika and black pepper. The paprika, made from ground dried sweet red bell peppers, imparts a vibrant color and smoky flavor reminiscent of traditional chorizo. Black pepper adds a subtle kick, enhancing the overall depth of taste. This combination offers a delicious, plant-based twist on classic chorizo, delivering bold flavors in a wholesome, meat-free pasta experience.
