They are bronze-drawn to give them that rough surface that helps to retain the sauce, and dried at length in static cells at low temperatures for up to 42 hours to maintain all the flavor of the wheat.

There's pasta and pasta
With over 13 million tonnes a year, Italy is the world’s top producer of durum wheat pasta. But not all pasta made in Italy is the same, and the high-end segment boasts P.G.I. certification, as well as a bronze-drawing and extremely low drying process. Our Penne Rigate pasta, produced in limited quantities in a small pasta factory in Gragnano, belongs to this top category.
