Rigatoni is one of the classic pasta shapes produced by La Fabbrica della Pasta di Gragnano. These large, ridged tubes are perfect for holding thick sauces, making them an excellent choice for various traditional Italian dishes. The producer uses the finest semolina from durum wheat combined with pure water from the Monti Lattari springs.
The pasta is shaped using bronze dies, giving it a rough texture that absorbs sauces better, and is dried slowly at low temperatures to preserve its nutritional properties and authentic flavor. This meticulous production method results in pasta that is pleasantly rough to the touch, allowing it to hold any type of sauce while providing fantastic consistency and unparalleled taste.
La Fabbrica della Pasta di Gragnano, located in the heart of Gragnano, near Sorrento, Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast, is a family-owned pasta manufacturer with a rich tradition spanning three generations. The company is a pioneer in the art of crafting artisanal pasta and was the first in Gragnano to receive the prestigious Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) certification, ensuring the authenticity and quality of their products.
