Combino Penne Rigate Integrali

Combino is a private label brand primarily associated with the German multinational discount retailer Lidl. This specific pasta, Selezione Combino Penne Rigate Integrali, is part of a premium range characterized by 'trafilatura al bronzo' (bronze-die extrusion), which gives the pasta a rougher surface to better hold sauces.

While the brand itself is a creation of Lidl (headquartered in Germany), the manufacturing of this specific product line is rooted in Italy. Lidl partners with established Italian pasta manufacturers to produce these goods under the Combino label, ensuring an authentic product that meets the quality standards required for competitive retail. The ultimate owner of the brand is Lidl Stiftung & Co. KG, which operates thousands of stores across Europe and the United States.
