Primo grano pasta is made from heirloom wheat. This exclusive and exquisite pasta redefines your expectations. The result is simply spectacular. Tender with a delicate yeasty flavor and a fine texture, Primo grano takes you back in time to our grandparents’ and great-grandparents’ day in old Italy when life was simpler and slower.
Rustichella d’Abruzzo began partnering with local wheat farmers in the Abruzzo region to revive some near-extinct heirloom summer wheat varieties, such as Mongibello, Varano, and San Carlo. Every year in the Vestina area of Abruzzo, 100 hectares is sown with the heirloom variety of wheat to make only 6 different types of traditional pasta, including spaghettoni.
Primo grano spaghettoni is best prepared simply to appreciate the delicate texture and perfume of durum wheat or combined with a classic carbonara sauce, Cacio e Pepe (cheese and pepper), or alla Salsiccia (sausage with tomatoes and onion).
Centuries of expertise and love of the very best quality make Rustichella d’Abruzzo pasta, olive oils, and pantry items from the Abruzzo region of Italy the favorite of the world’s top chefs. Rustichella d’Abruzzo has been served at the White House and was a favorite of Luciano Pavarotti, among others.
Rustichella d’Abruzzo is synonymous with quality and excellence. At this family-run artisanal pastificio in Abruzzo, they always craft their pasta using top-quality flours and pure spring water from the Apennine Mountains. The various pastas are extruded through hand-carved bronze dies for a rustic texture that holds sauce beautifully, then air-dried for up to 56 hours to further develop the flavor. The olive oils and pantry items are crafted with the traditional artisanal methods from centuries past. Rustichella d’Abruzzo is part of the cultural and historic heritage of Italy.
