Ancient British Grain Artisan Pasta

Pastificio Carleschi Wholegrain Emmer Mezzi Rigatoni Pasta

£4.50


Emmer (T. turgidum subsp. dicoccum). Domesticated emmer, known as farro in Italy, and shippon in Ancient Israel, was domesticated in the Southern Fertile Crescent and cultivated in ancient times throughout the Middle East and Old Europe. It was the only wheat used in ancient Egypt and was used to make the first matzah.
Emmer is higher in crude protein than bread wheat but has low dough extensibility, emmer dough does not stretch and rise like bread wheat; for that reason emmer makes excellent pasta.
Emmer wheat as an ancient wheat is rich in fiber, protein, minerals, carotenoids, antioxidant compounds, and vitamins, emmer is a complete protein source when combined with legumes, making emmer pasta ideal for vegetarians or for anyone simply wanting a plant-based high-quality protein source.


Pastificio Carleschi Emmer Mezzi Rigatoni is made with stoneground wholegrain emmer so that none of the amazing nutritional and health benefits of this grain are lost in the milling process. Not to degenerate any of the vitamins, they produce and dry their pasta at low temperature. The same bouquet they enjoy when mixing emmer flour with water they recognize in their finished dry pasta as a sign that nothing is lost in their artisan process. Emmer tastes of hazelnut, toasted walnut and dark chocolate.

Suitable for Vegans
