Piancone® Epicureo Imported Artisan Dry Pasta bears witness to the century old tradition of combining the best durum wheat flour, spring water, and an extensive slow drying process to create pasta that is rich in color, with a wonderful depth of flavor, ready to pair with your favorite sauce.

The Gragnano Pasta Factory is the first pasta factory in the world to have obtained the “Pasta di Gragnano I.G.P.” certification (Certificate Certiquality n.1/2012). The company is now also certified according to strict food standards BRC and IFS and also holds the BIO Agricert certification.

The IGP (Indicazione Geografica Protetta) designation guarantees the product’s provenance and quality and – in the case of Gragnano pasta – bears witness to a centuries-old tradition. The guidelines stipulated by this European Commission define certain criteria, besides the location of the production premises in Gragnano, such as the exclusive use of durum wheat semolina and water from local sources; extrusion through bronze dies; drying at temperatures between 40 and 80°C for a period ranging from 6 to 60 hours in static chambers or in warm air tunnels; packaging within 24 hours in the place of production.

Gragnano IGP pasta must also be packaged in cardboard boxes or transparent bags made using recyclable plant-based materials permitted by European regulations. The end result is a premium product that is exceptionally high quality, beautifully made, and lovingly packed for its long trek from the old country to your door that your customers will be proud to serve time and again.
