Why Pastorey?

At Pastorey Pasta, we believe pasta should nourish your body just as much as it brings people together around the table. That's why we start with carefully selected Canadian ancient grains, use traditional sourdough fermentation, incorporate purposeful functional ingredients, and finish every batch with a slow, natural air-drying process.

Every step is intentional. Every ingredient has a purpose.

 

Sprouted Ancient Grains

Our pasta begins with organic, sprouted Canadian ancient grains.

Sprouting is the natural process of soaking the grain in water so mother nature can do all the breakdown. This is the first stage in the process of Pastorey Pasta. Mother nature breaks down the stored proteins and starches and wakes up all the nutrients that were asleep inside the germ. This allows the germ to come out of the grain and come alive!

We choose sprouted ancient grains because they offer exceptional nutrition, rich flavour, and honour traditional food preparation methods that have been used for generations.

 

Sourdough Fermented

The second stage in the process of Pastorey Pasta

During this process, beneficial microorganisms grow in numbers, and breakdown the gluten molecules further, creating deeper flavour and contributing to a more traditional pasta-making method.

Rather than rushing production, we allow time to do what it does best—develop character, complexity, and exceptional taste.

Every ingredient we add has a reason for being there.

We carefully select functional ingredients like vegetable powders, mushroom powders, roots, herbs, sea vegetables, and berries to complement our ancient grains and create unique pasta varieties.

Some ingredients add vibrant natural colour. Others contribute distinctive flavours or valuable plant-based nutrients. Together, they allow us to create pasta that's both delicious and thoughtfully crafted.

Some of our purposeful ingredients include:

• Turmeric

• Ashwagandha Root

• Mushroom Powders

• Seaweed

• Vegetable Powders

• Acai Berry

• Cinnamon

• Beetroot

• Carrot

• Spinach

Each variety offers its own unique combination of flavour, colour, and nutritional value.

Naturally Air Dried

Once our pasta is made, we don't rush the finishing process. Air Drying is the final stage of the Pastorey process.

We slowly air dry each batch using traditional methods that help preserve the integrity of the dough while developing the texture that makes handcrafted pasta so enjoyable.

Slow drying allows the pasta to maintain its quality and creates a firm texture that cooks beautifully and holds sauces exceptionally well.

Good pasta simply can't be rushed.

 

At Pastorey Pasta, we believe wholesome food shouldn't be complicated.

We've taken traditional methods and thoughtfully chosen ingredients to create a pasta that's truly different—yet wonderfully simple at its core. It may sound revolutionary, with sprouted ancient grains, sourdough fermentation, functional ingredients, and slow air drying, but at the end of the day, it's still pasta made to bring people together.

Our goal wasn't to reinvent how you cook dinner. It was to reinvent what goes into it.

Pastorey Pasta cooks just as easily as traditional dried pasta, making it a convenient choice for busy weeknights, family dinners, and everything in between. Simply boil, toss with your favourite sauce, and enjoy a meal that's both delicious and thoughtfully wholesome.

No complicated recipes. No special preparation. Just exceptional pasta made with extraordinary ingredients.

From carefully selected Canadian grains to our traditional production methods, every box reflects our commitment to creating food that's simple to prepare, nourishing to eat, and memorable to share.

Because good food doesn't have to be complicated—it just has to be made with purpose.
