1: What does Pastificio dei Campi Mezzi Rigatoni taste like?
It’s bold, wheat-forward, and deeply satisfying — with the naturally sweet, lightly nutty flavor of high-quality Italian durum wheat. Mezzi Rigatoni delivers a thick, resilient al dente bite, with deep ridges that trap sauce both inside and out. Chefs and customers describe Gragnano IGP mezzi rigatoni as “hearty,” “perfect for meat sauces,” and “restaurant-quality pasta that never goes soft.”

2: Is this authentic Pasta di Gragnano IGP?
Yes. Pastificio dei Campi produces Pasta di Gragnano IGP in Gragnano, Italy, using traditional standards: 100% Italian durum wheat semolina, local water from southern aquifers, bronze-die extrusion, and slow drying. The IGP mark protects its origin, craftsmanship, and quality.

3: How should I use Mezzi Rigatoni?
Mezzi Rigatoni is made for thick, sauce-heavy dishes. Use it with slow-simmered tomato sauces, meat ragùs, sausage, mushrooms, or rich cheese and cream sauces. Its shorter length makes it especially versatile for baked pasta dishes and hearty weeknight meals where every bite should be coated in sauce.

4: Why choose Mezzi Rigatoni instead of regular rigatoni?
“Mezzi” means “half,” referring to its shorter length. Mezzi Rigatoni offers the same bold structure and ridged surface as classic rigatoni, but in a more compact, easier-to-serve shape that cooks evenly and works beautifully in both plated and family-style dishes.

5: Is this a good gift for food lovers?
Absolutely. Gragnano IGP pasta is one of the most giftable Italian pantry staples. Mezzi Rigatoni is especially loved by home cooks and chefs who enjoy rich sauces and comforting Italian meals. Pair it with premium sauces, olive oil, and cheese for an elevated Italian gift basket.

6: Where is it made?
It’s made in Gragnano, Italy — a legendary pasta-making town near the Gulf of Naples, known for centuries of craftsmanship and ideal natural drying conditions. Pastificio dei Campi carries this tradition forward with uncompromising quality.
