Russo Candele

Discover the Taste of Campania

Few pasta shapes are as closely associated with Naples as Candele. Their long, tubular shape was traditionally served whole before being broken by hand into rustic lengths, making every family meal slightly different. Produced by Pastificio Russo using Italian durum wheat, Candele remains one of Campania's most distinctive pasta traditions.

Why We Chose It

Candele isn't simply another pasta shape—it's part of Neapolitan food culture. We wanted to share products that tell the story of Campania, and few shapes capture that heritage quite like this one.

For generations, Pastificio Russo has produced pasta in the heart of Campania, combining traditional craftsmanship with carefully selected ingredients. Their commitment to quality continues a legacy that began in 1880.

A Little Piece of Campania

Traditionally, families would snap Candele by hand before cooking, making every piece slightly different. It's a simple ritual that has been passed down through generations and remains a familiar sight in many Neapolitan kitchens.
