Imported from Abruzzo, Italy, Verrigni is the only gold dyed pasta in the world. Many of the most celebrated chefs in Italy use and appreciate Verrigni becauses of its selection of the finest grains and its use of ancient techniques. This fairly new gold die produced pasta has attracted much attention in recent years. This pasta has a very different consistency than those drawn by bronze die molds. Specifically, the gold-drawn pasta creates a distinct flavor and smell, and a look that is more intensely raw. When cooked, its absorption and swelling are rapid, and it provides a more slippery, smooth, more intense wheat taste and a more yellow color, a beautifully rich experience.
