Italian term or phrase: trafilata al bronzo
the talk is about PASTA and I suspect that this has to do with a special way of production or preparation. Cannot put my finger on it, however. Grazie mille for any suggestions.

bronze die(d)
Explanation:
The pasta is drawn through a bronze die in order to obtain a rugged surface which will hold the sauce better, as opposed to the teflon die which gives the usual smooth surface.

thank you all three for the technical part of the translation (which I had more or less correct myself). The essential part however was no doubt delivered and explained by Di Salvatore. The reason and the result for bronze die extrusion are what I did not know. Grazie mille!
