The twisted brass ferretto — the same time-honored southern Italian tool, with a gentle spiral shaped into the rod itself.

• How it works: As you roll dough around the twisted rod, the pasta picks up natural ridges and a slight curl — perfect for shapes like fileja and spiral fusilli that are built to trap extra sauce in their grooves.

• Durable brass construction: Resistant to corrosion, antibacterial, and food-safe. Approximately 30cm long with a 5x5mm square base.

Twisted vs. straight: This one adds texture and spiral. Want the classic smooth tube instead? See the straight ferretto, or get both in the set and save €5 versus buying separately.

Care: Hand wash and dry immediately after use.
