When we talk about Tortellini, the ideal would be to prepare them at home or buy them from a good artisan pasta factory. Often, however, for several reasons, we rely on the packaged products of the supermarket, where the choice is very wide. But what is it really worth buying? A new test of Altroconsumo He compared 36 references to find out.
Unfortunately – we tell you immediately – most do not exceed enough: the average quality is often disappointing, due to questionable ingredients and not very balanced nutritional values. Only three products have obtained “good”.
The tortellini test
Altroconsumo He tested 36 different fresh tortellini with raw ham filling, analyzing ingredients, nutritional values, presence of preservatives, quality of the filling and other parameters. The result was a rather critical picture: many packs presented a not very transparent composition and low quality ingredients, the problem was in particular the use of different additives and refined flours. This, together with a often high calorie intake, makes it difficult to recommend these products.
Only 3 brands, in the end, are distinguished by a better composition and overall quality and can be a valid choice for those who want to enjoy a dish of good quality tortellini, while buying them at the supermarket.
