Exau
"Turi" Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Longtime Semolina customers know that we don't bring in a lot of Italian olive oils, not because we don't like them, but because traceability can be dubious at best. But not so with the extra virgin olive oils from Exau, a boutique family-owned grower/producer. Giuseppe Morisani's family has been growing olives in Calabria, on the Ionian Sea, for nearly 100 years, but only recently did he and his wife Skyler Mapes decide to bottle and sell them to the public.
Exau's Turi is a blend of Coratina olives and the local Campanian cultivar Carolea. It is more herbaceous than the Lina, with hints of fresh-cut grass and tomato leaf and a bitter almond finish.

Pasta Cooking Tips
- Use a large enough pot so your pasta doesn't stick together.
- Salt your water aggressively. Not sure how much? Taste it! We use about a tablespoon of Diamond Crystal Kosher salt per quart of water.
- Remove your pasta from the water before it's totally al dente and SAVE YOUR PASTA WATER!
- Fresh pasta cooks in about 2 minutes. Dried pasta takes 6 minutes or more.
- Finish your pasta in your sauce with a ladleful of pasta water.
Ingredients
Organic semolina and water.

I love this product… it takes the guessing out of how much salt you need to pour into your pot of water for pasta or veggies.
These anchovies are well worth the money. Excellent filets, not too salty and are delicious
I loved 😍 this pasta
I made baked zita and everyone asked about the noodles
Thank you
We decided to order a 6 pack and see how long it lasted. Everyone loves pasta in our house! It's been about 2 weeks and we're down to the last box, it lasted longer than I anticipated for sure! The fan favorite is the fusilli and both sizes of shells. Soup was the #1 user of the pasta, it was cold and rainy out. We also made some quick stovetop dinners by making a homemade pasta sauce and adding the dry pasta to the pot with some additional water, so quick and easy. We're going to order another box today and if the usage keeps up, we're going to make it a subscription!
Thanks for the pasta!
I love Diaspora Co products. I have always bought direct from the company so I was a bit apprehensive buying from a retailer. The spices came packed well and were shipped quickly.
Made an outstanding organic pizza dough with this light flour and it was just amazingly flavorful and perfect consistency. Thank you!!! Will be ordering more very soon!!
Wonderful to pick and choose our favorite tasty dried pastas!
I decided to order Semolina gifts for my family for Christmas. It was a really easy website. After I placed y order I got a phone call with a question about my order (frankly I don’t remember the question) but the answer was easy and off went my order. Everyone I sent it to was pleasantly surprised. I bet they want to visit the tore on their next visits
I use this just as you would an Asian fish sauce. It adds depth to everything I cook. Great in soups and Pasta sauce.
