The Rebirth of Sicilian Grains: Slow-Dried Semi-Wholemeal Pasta

A classic shape meets the proud character of the island's hinterland. The dough, made by blending pure mineral water and Perciasacchi flour, delivers a firm, chewy texture to the palate and authentic aromas reminiscent of hay and freshly harvested wheat.

INGREDIENT ANALYSIS AND TASTE

• 🌱 Historic Perciasacchi Variety: Also known as Sicilian long spelt, this ancient cereal boasts an extremely delicate gluten structure, ensuring significantly better digestibility than modern semolinas.
• 🧑🍳 Stone-Milled with Intact Germ: The semi-wholemeal extraction process preserves the precious wheat germ. The result is an excellent nutritional profile, providing 12.6g of protein and 5.3g of fiber, giving the pasta its characteristic natural amber color.
• 🌋 Absolute Craftsmanship: Bronze drawing and skillful slow drying, extended over several days at low temperatures, give these penne a tactile roughness that is perfect for binding inextricably to sauces without losing starch during cooking.

PRODUCT SHEET

🍷 The Taste Ambassador recommends:

Perciasacchi grain has a strong personality and a structure different from commercial pastas. I recommend tasting the penne at least two minutes before the time indicated on the package to preserve its firm bite and avoid dispersing the wheat germ into the cooking water. Their rough surface enhances our traditional condiments: try them with a sauce of confit cherry tomatoes, anchovies, and a sprinkling of toasted breadcrumbs (the famous muddica atturrata). A true masterpiece of simplicity.
