Afeltra 100% Grano Italiano is the core dry pasta line of the Afeltra pasta factory in Gragnano. It is Pasta di Gragnano IGP made from 100% Italian durum wheat semolina and pure spring water from the Lattari Mountains.

The line covers around thirty long and short shapes. Long shapes include spaghetti, thinner spaghettini and thick spaghettoni, linguine, bucatini, spaghetti alla chitarra and scialatielli. Short shapes include paccheri and mezzi paccheri, rigatoni, smooth and ridged penne, pennoni, tortiglioni, casarecce, conchiglioni rigati, short fusilli and fusilloni, large snail-shaped lumaconi, calamari, ziti, short candele, volcano-shaped Vesuvio, antiche ruote and small tubettini and tubettoni for soups. There is also pasta mista, a mix of shapes for dishes with legumes.
The pasta is sold in 500 g and 1 kg packs. It is everyday pasta for tomato and meat sauces, Neapolitan ragù and fish and seafood dishes.
