yerba in the pasta.
Matesta presses real yerba mate straight into the dough — earthy, grassy, gently caffeinated noodles that wake up every sauce they meet.

The founder's pact
We're new. Here's what we promise anyway.
No fake five-stars, no borrowed logos. Just the standards we hold ourselves to on every box that leaves our kitchen.
Real yerba, no extracts
Stone-milled mate leaf — never powdered flavoring or syrups.
Bronze-die cut
Rough texture that grips sauce instead of repelling it.
Shipped within 7 days
Or we cancel and refund — no slow-roasting your money.
