Penne is a flagship product in VGC’s pasta range, consisting of short, diagonally cut tubes made from 100% durum wheat semolina. The shape is particularly popular in international cuisine because its hollow core and ridged surface (if produced in a rigate style) hold sauces effectively, making it suitable for a wide variety of dishes from simple tomato sauces to baked al forno recipes.

Ingredients: Durum wheat flour (durum) of the highest grade or wheat flour of the highest grade, water

Weight: 400g – 15-20kg

Shelf life: 18 months

VGC’s Penne is marketed under the VGS’s Pasta line in 400 g retail packaging, and also supplied in 15–20 kg heavy‑duty bags designed for HoReCa customers who need bulk quantities and reliable packaging strength. Nutritionally, Penne offers high protein levels—over 12 g per 100 g of uncooked pasta—and serves as a valuable macronutrient source that supports muscle growth, tissue repair, and the production of enzymes and hormones.

When cooked in boiling water without added oil, 100 g of Penne delivers roughly 120 kcal, which is advantageous for calorie‑conscious diets that still require adequate energy for daily activities and sports.

The product’s low glycemic index, a result of using minimally processed durum wheat, ensures slower carbohydrate absorption and helps avoid rapid blood sugar fluctuations. This feature makes Penne particularly attractive for athletes, diabetics, and consumers looking for sustained energy rather than quick spikes.

Functionally, the pasta holds its shape and does not become mushy, even when cooked to recommended times and used in reheated or baked dishes, which is critical for quality perception in both home and restaurant settings.

The company presents Penne as part of a broader healthy‑eating concept under the slogan “Nourish Your Health, Every Bite,” emphasizing the combination of taste, texture, and nutritional benefits. For international buyers, Penne is offered with comprehensive support services, including private‑label branding, storage of printed packaging, supply planning, and CIF deliveries to key ports in Oman, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Bahrain.
