Garofalo Whole Wheat Penne Rigate is a short, ridged, angled tubular pasta made from organic whole wheat durum semolina, produced in Gragnano, Italy with the care and passion that defines the Garofalo range. The classic penne shape — with its oblique cut and ridged exterior — is here made from semolina derived from the grinding of the whole grain of wheat, retaining the bran and germ layers that are removed in refined alternatives. The result is a pasta that delivers genuine fibre content alongside the full, earthy flavour of whole grain durum wheat, without departing from the familiar format that makes penne one of the most universally useful short pasta shapes.
A grooved surface that absorbs rather than deflects. The ridged exterior of each piece allows condiments to be drawn in and held along the full length of the tube, ensuring that every bite carries sauce as well as pasta. Combined with the slightly rougher texture that whole wheat semolina naturally produces, this absorption quality is more pronounced than in refined penne — making it a particularly rewarding choice for robust, flavour-forward sauces that benefit from deeper integration with the pasta itself. Consistent cooking performance across batches makes it a dependable choice for professional kitchens offering whole wheat options on their menu.
A credible whole wheat option for health-conscious menus and retail. Organic whole wheat pasta is increasingly in demand from diners and buyers who want nutritional substance without sacrificing flavour or quality. Supplied by Sapori in a 16 x 500g case, Garofalo Whole Wheat Penne Rigate suits Kosher-certified restaurants, health-focused retailers, and wholesale accounts across Cape Town and the Western Cape looking for an organic Italian pasta with genuine provenance and everyday versatility.
