Oi @steffo, did De Cecco (why is de capitalized BTW) get more expensive locally? The price of its pasta jumped up 50% here since I last buy some (around the end of last year perhaps, I restock every few months), unlike most other dry goods here. Luckily that supermarket started to stock felicetti so I came home with 2.5 kg of its stuff.
@cnx DeCecco has always been the most expensive brand of pasta here; I'm not sure of if it specifically had a price increase lately, but all pasta had a price increase sometime in the last two years...
(De is capitalized because it's a surname; like, uhh, McDonald in English!)
Interesting, @steffo, it used to be the cheapest bronze-cut option here (to be fair the only other option was Rummo, and then some ultra expensive art is anal shits). Cheap dried paste here are not cheap either (like 30% less, but all are imported and still much more costly than rice) so I have them like once a week.
