The Ancestral Taste of Trimenaio Wheat: Porosity and Whole-Grain Wellness

From the fertile lands of Sicily comes a pasta that traces its roots back to the Greek period, produced with the prized Trimenaio wheat, a three-month cycle grain. These Penne Rigate preserve the soul of the grain thanks to artisanal processing, offering a sensory experience of earthy aromas and a firm texture that is second to none.

INGREDIENT ANALYSIS AND TASTE

• 🌱 Historical Timilia Variety: An ancient Sicilian durum wheat that is naturally low in gluten, ensuring superior digestibility and a solid protein content (12.6g) without feeling heavy.
• 🧑🍳 Cold-Pressed and Bronze-Drawn: Stone-grinding preserves the wheat germ, while bronze-drawing creates a rough, opaque surface that is mechanically perfect for holding sauce within every ridge.
• 🌋 Slow Drying: Unlike industrial pasta, this product is dried at low temperatures for several days, keeping the vitamins and trace elements present in the whole grain intact.
• 🌾 Rich in Fiber: With a full 11.3g of dietary fiber, it is the ideal choice for those seeking a food with a low glycemic index and high satiety power.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

🍷 The Taste Ambassador recommends:

I suggest draining these penne strictly "al dente." Whole grain Timilia pasta has a different cellular structure than modern pasta: it tends to continue cooking even once on the plate. To enhance its toasted notes, pair it with a wild fennel and sardine pesto, or simply with a drizzle of Nocellara dell'Etna Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a sprinkle of crushed toasted almonds.

- Luca Mauro Consoli
