Organic penne is a popular pasta variety, is typically made from durum wheat semolina, which is known for its high protein content and golden colour. The durum wheat used in organic penne is often grown in Italy, where the warm climate and rich soil contribute to its exceptional quality. The wheat is sown in the autumn and harvested in the early summer months when the grains have ripened.

Once harvested, the durum wheat is carefully milled to produce semolina, which is then mixed with water to form a dough. This dough is extruded through bronze dies to create the signature penne shape before being dried at low temperatures to preserve its nutritional value and flavour. The resulting organic penne pasta boasts a rich golden hue and a firm texture, making it an ideal choice for a variety of pasta dishes. As a natural raw product, organic penne contains essential nutrients such as protein, fibre, and complex carbohydrates. The traditional harvesting and processing methods, ensures that our organic penne retains its authentic taste and nutritional benefits, contributing to its appeal as a wholesome and sustainable food choice.

The organic nature of means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

You’ll receive your Organic Penne in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
