Rummo Zite, Traditional Southern Italian Pasta - Long, elegant tubes of pasta with a satisfyingly rough surface, zite are traditionally broken by hand into irregular pieces before cooking. This shape is perfect for capturing rich meat or vegetable sauces and is a classic choice for baked casseroles. Originating in southern Italy, the name “zita/zite” means bride, as this pasta was once a wedding feast staple.

Made by Rummo from the finest durum wheat semolina and the purest water from the Sannio Valley, these zite deliver exceptional flavour, texture, and bite. Crafted using Rummo’s signature Lenta Lavorazione® method — a slow, patient process that preserves the pasta’s structure — they remain perfectly al dente even if slightly overcooked, cooled, or reheated.

Founded in 1846 by Antonio Rummo in Benevento, Campania, the family business has passed down six generations of pasta‑making expertise. Today, Rummo’s Lenta Lavorazione is the only pasta approved by the Italian Cooks Federation, a mark of its outstanding quality.
