Market Segmentation

Dried pasta is made of the flour and water from the semolina. Such components are combined into a paste, then forced through moulds as well as cut into different types of pasta. When the dough has been formed, a drying process is practised through which all the moisture is removed. Because dry noodles contain zero moisture, these have a longer shelf life than fresh noodles, and if the packaging is not opened, they will last for up to two years.
