Bold. Green. Unapologetic.

Pasta that drinks yerba mate.

Hand-extruded semolina infused with stone-ground yerba mate. Earthy, grassy, faintly bitter — a noodle with a caffeine kick and a backbone.

Our promises

No reviews yet. Just receipts.

We're a new house. Here's what every box from Maté Strand will live up to — or your next one is on us.

Semolina

100% durum wheat, milled within 30 days of shipping.

Real mate

Whole-leaf yerba from Misiones — never extract or flavoring.

Made small

Bronze-die extruded in batches of 80 boxes or fewer.

7-day ship

In your hands within a week, or shipping is refunded.

The shapes

Four cuts. One leaf.

Each shape carries the mate differently — some hold it in the bite, some let it ride the sauce.

Signature

Mate Tagliatelle

Wide ribbons that drag butter, brown sugar and a whisper of smoke through every bite. Our debut and our best seller.

Rigatoni Verde

Thick tubes built for slow-cooked chimichurri ragù.

Spaghetti 01

A weeknight workhorse — bitter green notes, garlic forward.

From leaf to fork

How a strand earns its name.

We don't dust mate on top. We bury it inside the dough, then let bronze and time do the rest.

  1. 01

    Stone-mill the yerba

    Whole-leaf mate ground to a fine, jade flour the morning we mix.

  2. 02

    Knead with semolina

    Cold water, durum, mate flour — kneaded for 22 minutes, no eggs.

  3. 03

    Bronze-die extrude

    Slow extrusion gives a rough surface that grabs sauce instead of slipping.

  4. 04

    Air-dry for 36 hours

    Low and slow at 38°C — preserves the grassy, alkaline aroma.

Boil water. Wake up dinner.

Your first box ships free in the lower 48. One pot, seven minutes, a noodle that hits different.
