Afeltra Integrale Bio 100% Grano Italiano
Afeltra's organic wholegrain dry pasta from Gragnano, made from Italian durum wheat: spaghetti, linguine, penne, rigatoni, tortiglioni and Vesuvio.
Afeltra Integrale Bio 100% Grano Italiano is the organic wholegrain dry pasta line of the Afeltra factory in Gragnano. It is made from wholegrain semolina of 100% Italian durum wheat from certified organic farming. According to the company, the organic and wholegrain semolina from Apulian fields is checked with particular care and is free of pesticides.
Wholegrain pasta is richer in fibre and has a more rustic flavour than pasta made from refined semolina. The process matches Afeltra's other lines: the dough is extruded through bronze dies and the pasta is dried slowly in static cells at no more than 50 °C. There are no additives.
The line has six shapes: spaghetti, linguine, penne rigate, rigatoni, tortiglioni and Vesuvio, a volcano-shaped short pasta typical of Gragnano. The pasta is sold in 500 g packs.
The line suits people who want more fibre in their diet and choose organic food, with vegetable sauces and dishes with legumes, mushrooms, olive oil and cheese. Like all durum wheat pasta, it contains gluten.
