Penne Rigate is the undisputed king of short pasta varieties. The characteristic angled cut – historically modelled after the sharp tip of an ancient quill – effortlessly absorbs sauces, while the distinctive ridges (rigate) on the outside serve as a perfect grip for any type of sauce. This iconic shape is the ultimate all-rounder in the kitchen: from a fiery Penne all'Arrabbiata and rich, slow-cooked meat sauces to creamy pestos and well-filled, golden-brown casseroles. With this pasta, you bring the authentic and pure Italian dining culture directly to the table.
Choosing this Penne Rigate is choosing the exceptional gastronomic class that Kelvini has exclusively selected for you. We bring only the very best from the absolute top segment to your kitchen, sourced from a small-scale producer that has officially been named in the top 100 of the best Italian pasta companies by the leading Gambero Rosso – the prestigious Italian counterpart to the Michelin guide.
The base consists of 100% superior quality durum wheat, which is entirely cultivated under our own management on the sun-drenched fields in the hills of Campania (Km 0) and is kneaded with pure spring water. Because we swear by a purely natural cultivation method, the grain is guaranteed to be 100% free from pesticides and glyphosate. This results in an exceptionally high natural protein content and an unparalleled depth of flavour. Thanks to the authentic pressing by bronze moulds (bronze drawn) and an extremely patient, slow drying process at low temperature, the pasta retains its characteristic rough texture. This ensures maximum sauce absorption and a sublime al dente bite after a cooking time of 10 minutes.
