REVIEW:

Texture wise, this pasta was good.  Not too mushy and not too chewy.  It was served with corn salad, which went very well with the pasta.  The company has been around for a very long time and also produces other varieties of pasta including whole wheat flour pastas.  This leads me to believe that the pasta is not produced in a wheat free facility.  Case in point, their recall of one lot of Gluten Free Tubettini corn pasta labeled for Kids, which may contain undeclared whole wheat alphabet pasta.  If you are severely allergic to gluten, I would be very careful.      

Taste: We boiled the pasta in the same water we boiled our eggs in, which had a lot of salt in it, which may have been the reason the pasta was so tasty, but the pasta really did taste good. 

Labeling:  The packaging has very simple labeling with cooking directions and a few recipes on the back.  

Packaging: The packaging itself is actually pretty good.  It is made from paperboard that is made of 100% recycled paper fiber. 

Reader’s Reviews: Please share with us your review of this company’s other products + where you purchased the product + how long you have been using this product. Please no review from the family + friends of the company producing the product..
