Culinary term meaning "to the tooth” in Italian (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

al dente

(Other definitions for al dente that I've seen before include "Still firm when eaten" , "(Of pasta) firm when eaten" , "Cooked so as to be firm when eaten" , "(Of cooked food) still firm when bitten" , "Like some food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
