Pici are a type of hand-made pasta, similar to spaghetti but larger, typical of southern Tuscany, Val d'Orcia and Val di Chiana.

Panarese pasta factory uses only durum wheat semolina cultivated from local farmers of the Val D'Orcia, a little valley situated in a naturalistic park on the south of Tuscany, patrimony of the UNESCO. The quality of Panarese pasta starts from the raw material: the durum wheat semolina which is particulary rich in gluten thanks to the relative dryness of the area and the physical characteristics of the soil. It continues with the total control of the production from the seed selection, the wheat grinding, to the finished product. Our pasta is extruded through the bronze die by low temperature drying.
