Mate Strand is artisan pasta milled with real Argentine yerba mate — grassy, earthy, and quietly buzzing. One bowl, and weeknight dinner gets a whole new attitude.

Real yerba mate leaf from Misiones, milled into every batch.
Made-to-order in small runs so it lands fresh on your counter.
What’s in the box
01
the leaf
We air-dry single-origin Ilex paraguariensis from family farms in Misiones, then stone-mill the leaf to a fine grind that disappears into semolina. The result is a deep olive-green strand with the herbal punch of a fresh gourd of mate — without the bitterness.
Forget slick supermarket noodles. Our dies leave a textured, porous surface that grabs sauce like a sponge — whether you’re finishing with a 30-minute ragu or a quick aglio e olio.

the craft
03
the kick
Mate’s caffeine releases slowly alongside theobromine — the same compound in dark chocolate. Think focused calm, not espresso shakes. Dinner that actually wakes you up.
Dinner just got louder
Order a starter pack and we’ll throw in a recipe card from chef Lucia — her brown butter, lemon zest, and toasted mate finish. Ten minutes, total.
