Racconto Riserva Penne Rigate Pasta, 16 oz (Pack of 12)

Making pasta the old- fashioned way begins with selecting the best wheat and then slowing down the process, drying at lower temperatures and extruding the pasta through bronze dies.

Racconto Riserva Penne Rigate Pasta begins with this premium Italian durum wheat, which is high in protein and contains a gluten index above 70.

High protein and gluten levels allow the pasta to repel water absorption during the cooking process, resulting in greater al dente characteristics.

After the wheat is converted into very fine semolina, it is blended with cold mountain spring water which never exceeds 50 degrees F.

The cold temperature combined with the specially selected durum wheat yields a perfectly consistent pasta, one that will maintain its shape and firmness during cooking.
