Vilgain Organic Penne corn pasta - vegan gluten‑free pasta with orange and black carrots
Vilgain Organic Penne corn pasta is a vegan corn flour pasta combining the bland, slightly nutty taste of corn with the subtle sweetness of orange carrots and the earthy hint of black carrots. They are made exclusively with ingredients from controlled organic farming on a small family farm in northern Italy - and you can taste it!
Natural ingredients of premium quality
The Italians are renowned for their delicious, high‑quality pasta, and we've taken it up a notch. Our grain comes from the Langhe region, an area famous for its world‑famous wines and Piemonte nuts. It is the optimal climate of this region and the purity of the local soil that gives our Penne its authentic taste and high nutrient content.
Traditional handmade
We grind the corn in traditional wooden mills immediately after harvesting, thus reducing the oxidation of the raw materials to a minimum. It is then mixed with water to form a dough, extruded to form the desired shape and the finished pasta is left to dry naturally. Extrusion with a bronze nozzle is considered to be one of the most reliable production methods, creating a coarser surface on the pasta to which the sauce adheres better. The whole process is responsible not only for the first‑class texture but also for the quality and taste.
For celiacs and vegans alike
Not everyone is a fan of gluten or animal products. If you belong to this group of people, then corn penne can now also be your favourite side dish for casseroles or your favourite thick sauce. The naturally gluten‑free main ingredient and egg‑free formula create a nutritionally interesting alternative to grain pasta, and the two‑colour carrots introduce you to a new standard of vegan and gluten‑free taste.
