I use Tinky exclusively for my pasta.

What I DID notice in June when stocking up for my long vacation (where no one has ever heard of Gluten intolerance)

was that Tinkyada makes TWO versions of most of their pasta.
The store I buy from (the only one in this area) used to sell only ORGANIC..
and it was pretty expensive.

But in June they started carrying a NON-Organic version at a much lower price.
So I bought that for the vacation.

But I have not noticed any change of taste at all. (you do realize that children have more active taste buds, than adults...
we lose them with age). And I am old... atrophied probably compared to children who can taste more.

I put shredded mixed Italian fresh cheese on it (Kraft Italian) and maybe that
is masking any taste change.
I will certainly pay attention. I have not noticed anything really.
Tinky remains my steadfast fave. I've done so many others(which I didn't like or were too starchy). What I also like about Tinky is that the glycemic index is lower, hence the sugar effects of the digestion of the brown rice, is more compatible with my metabolism. I use the penna alot... I'd be lost without it.
