A young kitchen. A serious commitment.
Mate Strands is a first-batch operation. We won't invent five-star reviews — instead here's exactly what we guarantee to every box that leaves the door.
Real yerba, no extract
Stone-milled Ilex paraguariensis leaves worked into the dough itself.
Cold-shipped in 48h
Every order leaves the workshop within two business days of the press.
Full refund, no forms
If the first bite disappoints, reply to your receipt and we refund it.
Batch-numbered
Your box lists the batch, the miller, and the day the dough was cut.
Three ingredients. Countless shapes.
Durum semolina, filtered spring water, and a heavy pour of stone-milled yerba mate. That's the whole list.
The Signature Strand
A hand-cut tagliatelle laced with the deepest mate content of the range. Grassy on the front, toasted almond on the finish. Pairs with brown butter, lemon, cracked pepper.
Stone-milled durum
Coarse, protein-heavy semolina that grips sauce and holds its bite past al dente.
Slow-toasted mate
Leaves are lightly roasted in-house before milling — smoky depth, no bitterness.
Six shapes, one dough
Tagliatelle, rigatoni, orecchiette, casarecce, pappardelle, and a limited monthly shape signed by the maker.
A whisper of caffeine
Roughly a quarter of a cup of coffee per serving — dinner-friendly, not late-night jittery.
Cook something no one else is cooking.
