The Story
Where South America meets Italy.
Matelé was born from a stubborn obsession: the grassy, complex kick of yerba mate shouldn’t be locked in a gourd. We stone-grind wild-harvested Misiones leaves into 100% durum semolina — bronze-die cut, slow-dried, and shipped in runs small enough that every box matters.
Three ingredients. Zero shortcuts. The boldest bowl of pasta you’ve ever eaten.

Day one rules we won’t break.
Matelé is brand-new — so instead of borrowed testimonials, here’s exactly what we stand for, in plain language.
01
Real yerba mate
Stone-ground leaves from a single Misiones cooperative — never an extract.
02
Bronze-die cut
Rough, sauce-grabbing texture. Slow-dried at low temp to lock in flavor.
03
Honest labels
Three ingredients or fewer. If you can't pronounce it, it's not in the box.

Fresh from the press to your door — or your next box is on us.
The shape of Matelé
Four cuts. One unmistakable bite.
Every shape is engineered around the herbaceous backbone of yerba mate.
Yerba Spaghettoni
Thick strands with a snap. Made for cacio e pepe, garlic & chile, or a single yolk.
Verde Orecchiette
Little ears that scoop sausage, broccoli rabe, and every drop of mate-laced olive oil.
