THE COMPANY AND THE IGP MARK
The Rigorosa company bears this name (meaning “rigorous, meticulous” in English) precisely because all stages of production are carried out following the traditional art of making pasta in Gragnano.
The word “rigorous” perfectly suits the mindset that drives the company:
Gragnano Pasta is a certified PGI product, which means that its processing must meet specific requirements in order to obtain the certification. For example, it can only be produced in the city of Gragnano using raw materials, such as water and durum wheat semolina coming from the same territory.
PROCESSING METHOD
Pasta di Gragnano IGP is one of the traditional Italian products whose recipe has very ancient origins that have been handed down over centuries. Moreover, since it has been carefully passed on from generation to generation without being modified or reinterpreted, you can still taste its original flavour. This type of pasta is still produced and processed according to strictly traditional methods.
Rigatoni Pasta di Gragnano PGI is bronze-drawn, as tradition wants. In particular, the basic ingredients for the production of this pasta are durum wheat semolina and water. The bronze drawing is carried out after the dough is prepared and consists in letting the latter pass through a bronze drawing machine – a perforated mould or matrix. The material the die is made from has a great influence on the colour and the roughness and porosity of the surface of the pasta. For this reason, bronze drawing is considered a guarantee of quality.
After the bronze-drawing process, a series of rotating knives cut the pasta depending on the desired shape and length. The pasta is then slowly dried following the tradition of Gragnano. This process results in an elastic pasta that doesn’t fall apart during cooking.
