The Girolomoni family, from Montebello (PU), has decided to produce without using synthesized chemical substances in any stage of the cultivation, conservation and transformation, using only local raw material and water from a source that does not has industrial agriculture upstream. The wheat, carefully selected and stored in silos, is milled into flour that, mixed with water, gives the dough. After bronze-drawing, Penne Rigate are left to dry at low temperatures and for a very long time, about 8 hours, in order to maintain inside the dough all nutritionals and organoleptic substances present in wheat. The name "Penne" (that in English stand for "Pens") derived from the typical oblique cut as "nib" peculiar of this pasta shape, one of the most famous Italian durum wheat pasta shapes.
