About Donna Itriya – Sicilian Pasta Tradition

Donna Itriya’s Organic Ancient Grains line is made using heritage Sicilian wheat varieties, prized for their deeper colour, nuttier flavour and naturally higher fibre content. Grown using sustainable, low-impact farming methods that protect the island’s biodiversity, these ancient grains are stone-milled and slowly extruded through bronze dies, then dried at low temperature for a pasta with real character and a rustic, wholesome bite.

These heritage grain varieties were once at risk of disappearing from Sicilian fields, but are now being reintroduced thanks to producers like Donna Itriya who value flavour and biodiversity over high-yield modern wheat. Stone-milled close to harvest and formed using traditional bronze dies, the pasta is then dried slowly at low temperature, preserving the natural goodness and distinctive nutty character of the ancient grain.

How to Cook & Serve

To get the best from Donna Itriya Ancient Rigatoni, follow these simple tips:

  • Cooking time: Bring a large pan of salted water to a rolling boil and cook for the time stated on the pack, tasting a minute or so before to check for the perfect bite.
  • Sauce it well: The rough, bronze-die surface is designed to grip sauce, so finish the pasta in the pan with your sauce and a splash of the starchy cooking water.
  • Keep it simple: A drizzle of good extra virgin olive oil, garlic and chilli is all this pasta needs to shine.
  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place in its original packaging or an airtight container.

Perfect Pairings

Donna Itriya Ancient Rigatoni pairs beautifully with:

  • Rustic ragù: Slow-cooked pork or lamb ragù with rosemary.
  • Vegetables: Roasted aubergine, courgette or wild greens.
  • Cheese: Sharp aged pecorino siciliano or ricotta salata.
  • Wine: A bold Sicilian red such as Nero d’Avola or Frappato.

However you serve it, Donna Itriya Ancient Rigatoni brings the rustic, wholesome character of Sicilian heritage grains to your kitchen — a true artisan pasta worth seeking out.

Donna Itriya: Celebrating Sicily’s Pasta-Making Heritage

 

 

Born in the Heart of Sicily

Donna Itriya is based in Casteldaccia, on Sicily’s northern coast, a region long recognised for its deep connection to wheat cultivation and pasta production. Surrounded by the landscapes that have defined Sicilian agriculture for thousands of years, the company draws inspiration from a territory where wheat remains an enduring symbol of culture, tradition and identity.

Reviving an Artisan Legacy

The history of pasta-making in Sicily is built upon generations of knowledge, craftsmanship and respect for raw ingredients. Donna Itriya continues this legacy by combining traditional pasta-making techniques with modern production technology, preserving the methods that have made Italian pasta renowned throughout the world while ensuring the highest standards of consistency and quality.

The Finest Sicilian Durum Wheat

At the heart of every Donna Itriya pasta is carefully selected Sicilian durum wheat. Produced using pure water, bronze dies and traditional processing methods, the pasta reflects the character of the island’s fertile soils and Mediterranean climate. The result is pasta with exceptional texture, flavour and the ability to perfectly capture every sauce.

Crafted with Patience and Precision

Donna Itriya remains committed to the principles of artisan production. The pasta is bronze drawn to create a rough surface and dried slowly at low temperatures in static cells, preserving its nutritional qualities and authentic flavour. This careful approach produces a tenacious pasta with outstanding cooking performance and exceptional taste.

From Field to Finished Pasta

Every stage of production is monitored, controlled and certified, ensuring complete traceability throughout the supply chain. From the cultivation of Sicilian wheat to the final packaging, Donna Itriya maintains rigorous quality standards while respecting the traditions that have shaped Italian pasta for centuries.

A Taste of Sicily’s Agricultural Heritage

Alongside its traditional range, Donna Itriya also celebrates Sicily’s ancient grains, including varieties such as Russello and Perciasacchi. These historic wheats, prized for their distinctive flavour and natural characteristics, reflect the company’s commitment to preserving Sicily’s rich agricultural heritage for future generations.

From the wheat fields of Sicily to tables around the world, Donna Itriya produces authentic pasta that honours tradition, embraces innovation and showcases the exceptional quality of the island’s finest grains.
