Amazon has Select 3-Pack of 1-lbs Fronte Pasta (Imported from Italy) on sale for the prices listed below. Shipping is free with Prime or on orders of $25+.
Thanks to Deal Editor iconian for finding this deal.
I think the most easily available bronze die pasta in the US is De Cecco. I definitely notice a difference in texture. It doesn't reheat well though imho. The surface of the pasta feels a bit gummy if you overcook/reheat in the sauce. It just made me rethink how I do leftovers.

P.S. I looked at the import catalog on the "Fronte" brand and googled around and couldn't find anything mentioning bronze dies. So don't know if it is or not.
Pasta at Aldi's is 0.74 a 16oz box and unless you're making fresh pasta I challenge you to taste the difference.

What's so great about imported pasta?
this is no proof of anything, but more times than not, smaller Italian imported pasta utilize bronze dyes. Basically, the surface is rougher = better sauce clinginess. I am no expert though, so take this info with a grain of salt or a drop of sauce

Don't waste calories and carbs on regular noodles, pasta. Shirataki noodles has been a huge find for me. They smell terrible though, so rinsing in water then boiling helps. But enough seasoning, sauce makes it 90% of taste, texture of regular noodles.
