Why You'll Love Borges Premium Penne

• Superior "Al Dente" Texture: Engineered to resist overcooking, our pasta maintains its firm, satisfying bite, ensuring your meal is perfect from the first forkful to the last.
• High in Natural Protein: Feel fuller for longer. The naturally high protein content not only contributes to a healthier meal but is also the secret behind the pasta's excellent structure and taste.
• Exceptional Sauce Adhesion: The traditional bronze-die cut creates a subtly rough, porous surface that grabs and holds onto sauce, guaranteeing more flavour in every bite.
• Authentic Golden Colour: Made from the finest durum wheat semolina, our pasta boasts a beautiful, natural golden hue that promises rich, authentic flavour.
• Versatile & Family-Friendly: The classic penne rigate shape, with its hollow centre and ridged exterior, is perfect for a huge range of dishes, including hearty bakes, fresh salads, and classic sauce pairings.

The Technical Difference: What Makes Our Pasta Premium?

We believe that transparency is key to quality. Here’s a simple breakdown of the technical specifications that set Borges Premium Penne apart, and what they mean for your cooking.

Ingredient Focus: 100% High-Protein Durum Wheat Semolina

• What It Is: Durum wheat is the hardest of all wheat varieties. Semolina is the coarse, purified wheat middlings of durum wheat. This specific combination is the soul of authentic Italian pasta.
• Why It Matters: The high protein and gluten content in durum wheat semolina is crucial. It allows the pasta to absorb water and cook evenly without falling apart or becoming mushy.
• Your Benefit: You get a pasta that is naturally firm, elastic, and flavourful. The cooking water stays clearer because less starch is released, resulting in a cleaner taste and a non-sticky texture.

The Craft: Traditional Bronze-Die Extrusion

• What It Is: "Extrusion" is the process of shaping the pasta dough. While modern methods often use Teflon dies for speed, we use traditional bronze dies. The dough is slowly pressed through these bronze plates to create each piece of penne.
• Why It Matters: Bronze is a softer, rougher metal than Teflon. This friction creates micro-abrasions on the pasta's surface, making it more porous and textured.
• Your Benefit: This is the secret to a pasta that truly holds its sauce. Instead of the sauce sliding off a slick, smooth surface, it clings to every nook and cranny of our penne, delivering a perfectly balanced and flavourful bite every time.

Performance: Excellent Cooking Stability

• What It Is: The combination of high-quality raw ingredients and expert crafting gives our pasta exceptional stability during the cooking process.
• Why It Matters: It has a wider "al dente" window, meaning it's much more forgiving and less likely to be overcooked. It maintains its shape and integrity even in pasta bakes and salads.
• Your Benefit: Stress-free cooking and consistently perfect results. You can cook with confidence, knowing your pasta will have the ideal texture for any dish you create.
