The so-called bronze noodles are sometimes up to 30 percent more expensive than conventional, industrially produced noodles. Nutrition expert Silke Raffeiner explains why the price is so high.
Normal pasta without the inscription “al bronzo” or “trafilatura al bronzo,” is made using perforated inserts with coated Teflon. With the bronze noodles, only a hole insert made of bronze and aluminum is used. This technique was originally developed in Italy and is essential for producing high-quality pasta products.. In 2008, a 20-year-old student died after eating five-day-old, reheated noodles. This incident went viral fifteen years later under the name “Fried Rice Syndrome.” But regardless of whether bronze noodles were used or not, ready-made pasta dishes should never be left standing for too long. Because the remains can sometimes even become a deadly danger.. The “bronze noodles” are offered at a higher price than the conventional versions.
