Sorrentino i Giganti IGP
Pastificio Sorrentino's large Pasta di Gragnano PGI shapes for stuffing and baking: cannelloni, conchiglioni, lumaconi and lasagne.
Sorrentino i Giganti IGP ("the giants") is Pastificio Sorrentino's range of large shapes from Gragnano. It is dry durum wheat pasta with Pasta di Gragnano PGI status.
There are eight shapes: cannelloni (13 minutes), conchiglioni, lasagne and Neapolitan lasagne, pennoni rigati and mezzi pennoni rigati, schiaffoni (12 minutes each) and lumaconi, large "snails" (14 minutes).
These shapes are made for stuffing and baking: cannelloni and lumaconi are filled with ricotta, minced meat or vegetables, the sheets become Neapolitan or bolognese-style lasagne, and conchiglioni, pennoni and schiaffoni are served with a thick ragù.
The range belongs to "L'Oro di Gragnano", the PGI family of Pastificio Sorrentino in Gragnano's Valle dei Mulini: only Italian durum wheat semolina and water from the local aquifer, bronze dies and slow drying at low temperature.
