Organic Brown Rice Penne

Gluten-free, bronze-drawn – Only pre-cooked brown rice flour A Garlanda and water, cooking 12-14 minutes

Italy's most beloved pasta shape rewritten in rice grains: ridged, rough, and ready to capture any sauce.

Una Garlanda's Brown Rice Penne

Una Garlanda's Organic Brown Rice Penne are the most versatile rice pasta in Italian cuisine: just two simple ingredients—precooked brown rice flour and natural mineral water—expertly blended, bronze-drawn, and left to dry slowly for 20 hours at 35°C. The oblique cut and rough surface make the penne the perfect vehicle for any sauce, from simple passata to more structured sauces, with a cooking time (12-14 minutes) that rivals that of wheat pasta. A high-quality, naturally gluten-free product for enjoying these ancient rice varieties grown completely naturally in classic recipes. Presented in paper packaging.
 
 
 

The roots of these Penne are deep in tradition

Few people know that the penne has a birthdate and even a patent: it was Ligurian pasta maker Giovanni Battista Capurro, in 1865, who registered the machine capable of cutting pasta diagonally without flattening it, imitating the tip of the quill pens that give it its name. An ingenious invention that conquered Italy: the oblique cut increases the surface area for sauce, and the ridges, combined with the bronze drawing, enhance the sauce's adhesion. One hundred and sixty years later, that same architecture meets a raw material Capurro would never have imagined: brown rice from the historic varieties of Baraggia, for a penne that unites two Italian heritages: pasta and rice fields.
 
 
 

Choosing Brown Rice Penne means taking care of yourself

Two ingredients, no compromise: precooked brown rice flour and mineral water, without thickeners, gums, or starch blends. Naturally gluten-free, they're a safe choice for celiacs and those with sensitive skin, but also a light and digestible alternative for the whole family. Brown rice preserves fiber, B vitamins, and minerals, with 8,5 g of protein per 100 g and just 0,8 g of sugar: gradual energy and prolonged satiety, without the heaviness. Slow drying at low temperatures preserves the grain's nutrients and aroma, while the Una Garlanda supply chain—without chemicals or fertilizers—guarantees certified cleanliness from seed to plate.
