Quality & Sourcing

Produced in Tuscany by the artisanal pasta makers at Michele Portoghese, Pennette Rigate is made using top-quality Italian durum wheat semolina. The dough is bronze-extruded for a rough, porous texture and then dried slowly at low temperatures to maintain flavor and nutritional value.
