The UNO.61 Story
A few years ago, at the dawn of his 40s, Founder Federico Monetto started having issues tolerating standard pastas that was available in the market. This was a pity because it is one of his favourite foods. There were many reasons why he could no longer enjoy it: some were digestive, and some were energetic.
In an effort to confront this dilemma, he first eliminated eating pasta in restaurants. Then, after trying dozens of artisanal products with little success, he also stopped eating them at home.
Because of this, an idea was born: to create a pasta par excellence, while controlling the supply and production chain and guaranteeing the best possible digestibility, a low glycemic index, and above all, unbeatable quality.
So he partnered with renowned Pasta Maker Raimondo Mendolia (above) to realize this dream. Raimondo created the unique format of the Uno.61 by first personally selecting only the best Italian Durum Wheat, hand-rolling each dough, and extruding it in specially designed gold-plated dies. The result is a distinctive pasta with precision and harmony, that will not only pair with a variety of sauces, but will also delight even the most demanding palates.
Today, they shares their creation to the world, a pasta that best represents authenticity, and how excellent pasta should be like. Their Pasta is also being served at many Michelin Star restaurants worldwide – a true testament to their success.
In a matter of a few months, word and hype about this new luxury Pasta spread. Famed Italian Tailor and Designer Angelo Inglese (above) had gotten his hands on Uno.61.
After seeing and tasting the Pasta, he was truly overcome with enthusiasm. He then called and exclaimed “I have to dress this Pasta!”
Today, each Uno.61 Pasta is thoughtfully wrapped in a specially tailored sleeve born out of this ingenious idea.
These sleeves are made from embroidered fabric from remnants of designer fabrics, hand-selected by Angelo Inglese himself.
These fabric bags are then sewn completely by hand and closed with buttons of pure corozo, thus marrying its undeniable beauty to the inherent goodness of the product.
