The Pasta Revolution: Our Wheat, Our Passion

Sustainable Cultivation in the Heart of Puglia

In the green expanses of Puglia, our pasta takes shape. It comes from the durum wheat that we cultivate with pride and passion, following the principles of Voluntary Integrated Agriculture, a method that respects the environment by combining organic and conventional practices. The result is protein-rich wheat (>14%), free from Pesticides, Glyphosate, and Mycotoxins.

Beyond Cultivation: A Care That Goes Further

We do not just grow the wheat, we care for it like a child. We collaborate with seed companies to select the best varieties to plant, always taking into account the peculiarities of our soil and climate. We enrich the fertility of the soil through biennial rotation with legumes and we store our wheat only when it reaches the perfect humidity for conservation, in Big Bag according to biological criteria.

The Transformation: The Magic of Creating Quality Pasta

The real magic happens during the transformation of our wheat into re-milled Whole Body Durum Wheat Semolina, rich in precious Wheat Germ and fibers. This high-protein flour improves the texture of the pasta and reduces the starch leakage during cooking, creating elastic, consistent, and non-sticky pasta.

The Extrusion and Drawing Process

To honor the quality of our wheat, we extrude the pasta at low pressure and draw it in bronze. This process maximally preserves its organoleptic characteristics and gives the pasta a rough surface, perfect for welcoming any type of sauce. The drying occurs at very low temperatures (36°/44°), to keep all the nutrients of the wheat intact.

The Benefits of Wheat Germ

Wheat germ, the heart of our pasta, is a mine of wellbeing. It encloses within it:

• Amino acids
• Fatty acids
• Minerals
• Vitamin B group
• Tocopherols (vitamin E)

These components offer protective and anti-inflammatory properties for the body.

The Result: A Unique Pasta

The result of all this love and care is an unmistakable tasting pasta, which releases the intense aroma of wheat, cooks quickly (8 min.) and maintains its cooking, offering the digestibility of pasta from once. Our pasta represents a gustatory journey that unites tradition and the pursuit of quality, for a unique experience of its kind. Our product is a tribute to the earth and passion, a celebration of Italian agriculture.

Ideal Pairings and Cooking of Bronze-drawn Rigged Penne

Bronze-drawn rigged penne is one of the most versatile and loved pasta in the kitchen. Their short, cylindrical shape, combined with the ridged surface, makes them perfect for welcoming various types of sauces.

Here is a list of common uses and pairings for bronze-drawn rigged penne:
