Pennette Rigate is a thinner and extremely elegant variant of traditional penne. Thanks to its smaller, sleeker size, this type of pasta is just a bit more subtle in the mouth, while the deep ridges on the outside and the hollow inside retain their functional strength. The characteristic angled cut ensures that sauces glide effortlessly inside. Pennette is the absolute favourite for lighter, liquid sauces such as a refined tomato sauce with fresh basil, smooth pestos, or fresh, Mediterranean pasta salads based on superior olive oil and crunchy summer vegetables.
With this Pennette Rigate, you bring home the pure, Italian gastronomy that Kelvini has exclusively selected for you. We only bring the very best from the absolute top segment to your kitchen, sourced from a small-scale producer that has been officially awarded in the Gambero Rosso – the prestigious Italian counterpart to the Michelin guide – within the top 100 of the best Italian pasta companies.
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 process, the grain is guaranteed to be 100% free from pesticides and glyphosate. This results in an exceptionally high natural protein content and a deep, full grain flavour. Thanks to the authentic pressing through bronze moulds (trafilata al bronzo) and a highly patient, slow drying process at low temperature, the pasta retains its characteristic rough texture. This ensures maximum sauce absorption and an unparalleled al dente bite after a cooking time of just 7 minutes.
