Goya Penne Rigate

Goya Penne Rigate is a dry pasta product made from 100% Durum Wheat. The brand caters heavily to the Hispanic market across the Americas and is a staple in many households for its accessibility and wide variety of pantry staples.

Founded in 1936 by Spanish immigrants Prudencio Unanue Ortiz and Carolina Unanue, Goya Foods originally started by importing Spanish products like olives and olive oil to New York City. Over the decades, it has evolved into the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the United States. While the family has Spanish roots, the brand is culturally and legally American, originating in New York and now headquartered in New Jersey.

The company remains a private, family-owned entity. Manufacturing occurs across multiple facilities in the United States, Puerto Rico, and various international locations to support its global distribution network. Despite its massive growth, it continues to be managed by the descendants of the founders.
