Penne never disappoint. With their super chiseled profile, these little tubes ensure a perfectly balanced pasta/salsa ratio for your liking. They are believed to have originated in Rome, but they are now enjoyed all over the world! What makes our penne unique is that they are made of Timilia.
This ancient wheat variety is only grown in a few areas of central western Sicily. It gives the pasta a nutty, earthy aroma with a hint of sweetness. Whether you’re going for a classic dish or something of your own creation, these pentip-shaped superstars are here for you.
*LOW GLUTEN INDEX
The Gluten Index measures the strength of gluten in grains, which affects the quality of pasta. A higher index means the pasta is more elastic but can be harder to digest, causing post-meal bloating and drowsiness. Modern durum wheat has a high Gluten Index of about 90%. Our ancient Timilìa durum wheat has a lower index of 15%, making it easier to tolerate, even for people with gluten sensitivities other than celiac disease.
