Description
Rooted in the ancient tradition of Gragnano, Pastificio Carmiano crafts pasta with passion, patience, and respect for authentic Italian flavours. Their work is guided by the knowledge and dedication of artisans who practice the art of pasta making every day.
Pastificio Carmiano believes great pasta takes time. That’s why they follow slow processing methods, rely on hands-on craftmanship, and select only the finest Italian grains.
Every detail matters- from sustainability-conscious choices to the finishing touch-ensuring pasta that is honest, flavourful, and true to tradition.
Tradition. Quality. Time well spent.
Made with 100% Italian semolina, carefully selected each year from the best national wheat, and pure water from the springs of Gragnano, Pasta Carmiano is a true expression of quality and tradition.
Under the careful supervision of the master pasta maker, kneading and mixing are carried out with patience and precision. Each pasta shape is bronze‑drawn, giving it the distinctive rough texture and natural irregularity that define true artisanal pasta—essential for perfectly holding sauces.
The pasta is then manually laid out with expert care to prevent sticking during the drying phase. Drying takes place in modern static cells designed to faithfully replicate traditional methods while ensuring maximum control and consistency. Depending on the shape, the process lasts between 18 and 60 hours, at a carefully monitored temperature between 40°C and 50°C, preserving flavour, structure, and authenticity.
A cylinder-shaped pasta, penne is the plural of penna, which means pen, feather or quill. When this shape was first invented in the 19th Century, it was based on the quill of a fountain pen. Rigate means ridged, and the ridges help the pasta sauce attach itself to the pasta. Ideal accompaniments would be chunky meaty or vegetable tomato sauces. Penne rigate are also an ideal shape when baking pasta. Try them with a porcini mushroom and sausage sauce, or in a summery dish, with prawns and courgettes.
