Verrigni is one of the oldest noodle producers in the whole of Italy – founded by Luigi Verrigni in 1898 as purveyor to the Italian court. As you’d expect, they lay great stress on continuity and tradition – but are always open to innovation: for example, in the early days the noodles were dried in the open air (hung out on bamboo sticks), but later on Gaetano, the son, started putting them out in small drying rooms (‘camerini’). Today, a younger Gaetano Verrigni continues with the family tradition by using the very best durum wheat grown in Italy – the ‘bronze’ variety – that gives the noodles the ‘roughest’ surface possible.
