Capparelli Rigatoni Artisan Premium 100% Italian Durum Wheat Pasta - 500g
Capparelli Rigatoni Artisan Premium 100% Italian Durum Wheat Pasta.
Capparelli's "Classica" pasta is crafted from 100% premium Italian durum wheat.
This high-quality wheat is sown, grown, and harvested in Puglia, Tuscany, Sicily, and Campania, thanks to a collaborative effort with the dedicated farmers of the Coldiretti association within the Prime Terre project.
Rigatoni are perfect for big chunkier sauces as their ridges and wide center help capture the sauce perfectly. This also helps them contain meats and large vegetables. Rigatoni also work well in baked pasta dishes as they can hold on to cheese well. Typically, rigatoni are associated with southern Italian cuisine.
Capparelli uses traditional bronze dies to achieve a rough texture that holds more sauce. Their pasta is slow-dried at low temperatures (maximum 38°C) for 24 to 30 hours, preserving flavour and texture.
Capparelli sources their flour from the Prime Terre project, which supports local farmers in Southern Italy, ensuring the sustainability and local origin of the wheat grains. They also source British grains for their ancient pasta varieties (einkorn and white spelt).
