The Sicilian Penne Rigate - Timilia ancient wheat - 500g
£5.99
Ancient Sicilian Durum Wheat Pasta represents a culinary heritage that combines traditional ingredients with time-honored production methods. Made from "grani antichi" (ancient grains) cultivated in Sicily for millennia, this pasta is known for its robust flavor, high protein content, and superior nutritional profile. The production process involves pressing the dough through copper plates, creating a uniquely rough, porous texture that allows sauces to cling better. This pasta not only offers a more flavorful and satisfying dish but also provides health benefits, including higher fiber content and potentially easier digestibility due to lower gluten levels compared to modern wheat varieties. By using ancient grains and traditional copper-pressing techniques, this pasta embodies the essence of Sicilian culture and agricultural history, bringing an authentic taste of Sicily's past to contemporary dining tables.
Ingredients: stone ground "Timilia" Sicilian ancient durum WHEAT flour, water.
