Our supply chain

We check the chain from farm to fork.
Hulling
In our organic devoted plant, cereals and legumes are selected, cleaned and hulled. The members provide the raw material, and the cooperative takes care of the processing
Grinding
In the old stone mill, still powered by water, only quality wholemeal flours are ground. The technique allows to keep the properties raw of the materials intact. Grinding is one of the added values that distinguishes our products, because it allows the flour to preserve the nutritional and organoleptic qualities of the cereal.
Pasta making
The Slow drying at low temperatures is carried out in several controlled phases (max 60 °C), for a wait of about 20-36 hours (depending on the shape of the pasta). This process allows the pasta to maintain a very high content of precious nutrients.
