Diamond 58G Matrice Bronze "Bucatini 2,6 Mm"

Product code 58G marks this out as a Bucatini die (2.6mm), cast in bronze for commercial pasta production. It's a long tube pasta similar to a thick spaghetti but hollow through the centre, so sauce collects inside the tube as well as on the surface. Pasta cut through bronze comes out rougher and more porous than the finish from a Teflon die, which is why bronze tooling is still the standard for anyone selling pasta as artisan-made. This code is one of several size options Diamond lists for the bucatini cut, so match it to your machine before you order. It's a 1kg item, sold with Diamond's usual one-year parts-only warranty.
