Sanmartí Fideuà is a premium short pasta crafted by the renowned Catalan pasta maker, Pastes Sanmartí. Based in Caldes de Montbui, Spain, Sanmartí has been producing artisanal pasta since 1700, using traditional methods and pure thermal spring water. Their fideuà is specifically designed for the classic Valencian seafood dish of the same name, offering an authentic taste and texture.
Unlike regular pasta, fideuà noodles are short, slightly curved, and ideal for absorbing the rich flavours of fish stock, saffron, and seafood. Sanmartí Fideuà stands out for its high-quality durum wheat semolina and slow-drying process, which enhances its firm texture and ability to hold up in cooking. This makes it a favourite among chefs and home cooks alike.
To prepare a fideuà with Sanmartí pasta, the noodles are typically toasted in olive oil before being simmered in a flavourful broth with prawns, squid, and mussels. The result is a deeply aromatic dish with a slightly crispy top, similar to paella but with noodles instead of rice.
For those seeking an authentic fideuà experience, Sanmartí’s time-honoured craftsmanship ensures a superior product that elevates this beloved Spanish dish.
