Barilla and Desall are Exploring How Geometry Impacts Flavor and Texture
Barilla and Desall recently announced the winners of its second Smart Pasta competition, which challenged people to come up with inventive 3D-printed pasta shapes.
The pasta designs explore the ways in which the shape of a noodle can play a significant part in the flavor and texture experience of a dish. Of nearly 1,200 entries from 124 countries, Barilla and Desall chose to call out three different winning designs. The winning first place 'Turbine' design from a 26-year-old Italian designer reimagines the famous fusilli, while the runners up creatively reinterpreted elements of the natural world with their 3D-printed pasta concepts.
As part of the competition, Barilla has also offered a €1,000 option right for designs that may be purchased for commercial use, whether or not they have been chosen as winners.
