Monograno Felicetti Kamut Penne Rigate Pasta, 2 Pack, 17.6oz (500g) - Italian Organic Non-GMO

Felicetti, a family-owned pasta company, has been crafting the finest pasta in Predazzo, Italy since 1908. Over the course of four generations, their passion for cooking has never diminished. At the core of their values lies a deep commitment to environmental responsibility, which is reflected in their production process.

To create their Monograno line of pasta, Felicetti utilizes three distinct single-varietal, ancient organic durum wheats: Kamut, Farro, and Matt. Kamut and Farro are ancient grains that trace their origins back thousands of years to Egypt and the Middle East, while Matt is a modern heritage grain.

Khorasan/KAMUT, one of the key ingredients in Monograno, is a variety of durum wheat that is grown today in Saskatchewan, Canada, and Montana. This ancient grain boasts a sweet, nutty, and buttery flavor, releasing a gentle fragrance of white flowers and pine nuts when cooked. Khorasan/KAMUT is a single, ancient grain durum wheat, meaning it has remained largely unchanged by breeding, hybridization, or modification.

Felicetti's commitment to sustainability is evident in their production practices. Their factory now generates 90% of its own electric power through solar or cogeneration methods. The company also works closely with its farmers to promote good land use practices, ensuring complete traceability from the farm to the store. Utilizing the pure alpine water and the cleanest air in Europe, Felicetti pasta is created without any impurities.

This dedication to environmental responsibility, combined with the use of single-heritage and ancient organic durum wheats, has earned Monograno Felicetti a reputation as one of the premier pastas in Italy and around the world. Used by Michelin-starred restaurants, the pasta's distinct flavor and ability to maintain an "al dente" texture beyond the cooking time have made it a sought-after product among discerning chefs and food enthusiasts.
