Selecting the wheat
Selecting excellent primary materials is the first step, the most important one in fact, in creating unique pasta.
Pennette Rigate n° 241 ai 7 Cereali
This is a smaller version of classic Penne rigate, that as ever features its trademark diagonal cut ends: Pennette Rigate is also available in the 7-grain version, for a balanced dish nutritionally speaking, without any compromises in delicious flavour.
The Pennette Rigate is ideal for pasta dishes served with sauces and paired with beef or pork-based ragù. This pasta is also perfect with vegetable-based sauces – aubergine, peppers, courgettes, artichokes – or more inventive fish-based dishes.

Our method
Attention, care, experience, quality at every stage: from our mill to your table.
The milling
We have been millers for almost two centuries: way back in 1831, Don Nicola De Cecco was already producing “the best flour in the county” in his mill. To this day, we grind all the wheat in our own mill next to the pasta factory, floating with intense and delicious aromas.
The dough
Cold water and dough at a temperature of less than 15 degrees: two details allowing us to produce pasta that fully respects the primary material.
Drawing
While it is the drawing process that gives the pasta its shape, it is the rough die that make our pasta uniquely porous, so it captures all the sauce. Hence, this is one of the special procedures we have chosen to preserve and protect. With great pride.
Drying
Another of the secrets behind our pasta is slow drying at low temperature. It is our way of keeping the sensory properties of the wheat intact.
