Lily-shaped Stamp for Making Ligurian Corzetti Pasta

Lily shape wood stamp and cylindrical cutter for making traditional Ligurian Corzetti pasta. Diameter 53 mm.

Make homemade Corzetti (also known as Ligurian Corzetti, croxetti or corsetti)- a typical Italian pasta born in Liguria.

The history goes that in Liguria around the Renaissance, the noble families wanted to showcase the family’s coat of arms as a sign of power, so why not put it on pasta? Handmade corzetti often had different engravings on the two sides: a cross was engraved on the second side, a tradition that (probably) gives the name to this characteristic fresh pasta shape. According to the tradition, Corzetti sauce is prepared with white meat, celery, onion and bay leaf, but it's a free country- use any sauce application you'd like!

Ligurian corzetti molds are made with woods without tannins and resins. The set consists of two parts: the first one is a "stamp", while the other one is cylindrical in shape and has an incised and concave part, useful for cutting the dough.
