Raffaelli - l'Ortolana - Rigatoni Tricolore - 500g

In a quest to produce the finest olive oil in Tuscany, the Raffaelli family began to plant their first trees around the end of the 19c and were soon receiving acclaim from all fortunate enough to enjoy, leading to young Enrico's plans to make their oil available to those outside the region.  The methods have remained unchanged for four generations and remain true to their origins of a century ago: the finest olives picked by hand and brought to the presses with twenty four hours, extracted by cold pressing in mills with stone pounders and unfiltered, but stored for eighteen months in a temperature controlled environment to allow natural sedimentation.

Raffaelli now also offer delicacies of the region, including pasta, spices, sauces, dried fruits and vegetables, teas... all with the famous Pinocchio figure as local mascot!

This coloured rigatoni pasta is great for dinner parties or for children.  Whoever you decide to cook it for is bound to have a smile on their face as they enjoy this unique pasta.

Translating as “Large Grooved”, the short, tubular and hollow Rigatoni’s ridges and holes are perfect with any sauce, from cream or cheese to meat making it an ideal counterpart for meat and other chunky sauces and is also a great choice for baked pasta dishes.
