Thanks to the bronze-drawing process, our Penne Rigate pasta embraces and enhances all kinds of sauces.
APPEARANCE BEFORE COOKING: slightly rough, with an even color tending towards amber, regular in shape.
CONSISTENCY: elastic and firm to the taste when cooked, remaining al dente even if cooked beyond the recommended time.
AROMA: during and after cooking, the Penne Rigate pasta gives off all the delicious fragrance of quality durum wheat dried at very low temperatures.
FLAVOR: full, durum wheat flavor, satisfying for the palate.
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.
The best-known short pasta variety, the perfect partner for any sauce.
