Product Description

16 oz. Penne Rigate hails from Campania, and these ridged tubes have pointed ends like the "quills," they were named for. Sapori di Napoli Penna Rigata are perfect for capturing both the quick cooked and the slow simmered tomato sauces so prevalent in this region where the tomato is a culinary star. The average Italian consumes about 20 kilos (44 pounds) of dried pasta a year, and most of them agree that some of the best pasta is made near Naples. In Italy's Campania region pasta is considered art, ritual, culture, and history, especially in Naples and the towns and villages that surround it. The craftsmen at the Pastificio Artigianale Romita - located in the village of Borgo Reale di S. Leucio about 15 miles due north of Naples - produce their pasta Sapori di Napoli with the love and devotion of connoisseurs. Starting with the purest water and semolina from hand-selected durum wheat - it is the "semolina" del Tavoliere flour, an extra fine flour produced from the unique durum wheat grown in the nearby territory. They work the dough by hand before extruding it through bronze dies in the traditional manner. The pasta is then dried slowly under controlled low-temperature conditions - from 24 to 92 hours depending on the shape. This slow drying leads to uniform absorption of water during cooking and a perfect "al dente" on your plate.
