About Rigatoni pasta: Rigatoni is a tube-shaped pasta with distinctive characteristics:

• Larger than penne and ziti
• Slightly curved shape
• Ridged exterior for better sauce adhesion
• Square-cut ends

This pasta shape is particularly popular in southern Italy, especially Sicily, due to its excellent sauce-holding capacity.

The Gragnano Advantage: Gragnano, nestled between Monti Lattari and the Amalfi Coast, offers ideal conditions for pasta production:

• Cool mountain air
• Perfect balance of sun, humidity, and wind
• Optimal environment for superior wheat cultivation

These factors contribute to Gragnano's reputation for producing the world's finest pasta, including our Rigatoni di Gragnano IGP.
