Benedetto Cavalieri Penne Rigate, 17.6-Ounce Bags (Pack of 2)

Brand: Benedetto Cavalieri

Benedetto Cavalieri Penne Rigate comes in 17.6 ounce pack. The hard durum wheat or semolina used to make Benedetto Cavalieri pasta is higher in protein than softer bread flour. In addition, the traditional delicate method of slow drying at low temperatures helps preserve the nutritional value of the wheat, including wheat protein. Benedetto Cavalieri is one of the leading family owned companies that produce pasta by old-world artisanal methods. Founded in 1918, Benedetto Calvalieri continues the family tradition of making pasta according to the time-honored delicate method. Using only the highest-quality, freshly milled hard durum wheat, the process involves long kneading by experienced hands. Every shape of pasta requires a unique blend of semolina flour and water. Secondly, the dough slowly passes through special bronze dies designed to create each shape and give the pasta a rough-textured surface to which sauce clings rather than slipping off. Lastly, after shaping, the pasta is allowed to dry in antique ovens and rest at low temperatures. Slow drying at low temperatures retains more of the nutty flavor and aroma of durum wheat.
