Penne Mezzani - D&G Packaging by Pastificio Di Martino

These Italian penne mezzani are crafted from 100% Italian durum wheat semolina and spring water, bronze-die cut and slow dried using the traditional Gragnano method — a PGI-certified pasta with a ridged surface that grips sauce for a noticeably richer bite, ideal for specialty food retailers, Italian import shops, and gourmet grocery buyers. Made by Pastificio Di Martino in Gragnano, Naples — a family-run pasta factory since 1912 now in its third generation — each 500g box uses spring water from Monti Lattari and extra fine semolina sourced exclusively from Italian wheat. The bronze die extrusion creates a naturally rough, porous texture that holds sauces far better than Teflon-cut pasta. Slow, low-temperature drying preserves the wheat's natural flavor and aroma. This batch is packaged in a limited-edition Dolce & Gabbana collector tin celebrating Italian excellence through color, craft, and iconic Italian imagery — making it as giftable as it is cookable. Retailers report strong sell-through as a premium impulse buy and high-margin gift item, particularly for customers seeking authentic Italian pantry staples, foodie gifts, or elevated everyday pasta. The D&G packaging drives strong gifting purchases and makes it an easy display centerpiece.
