Organic Trofie Italian Durum Pasta is made from ancient Russello wheat. It will take you on a journey to Puglia, through hilly villages and historic olive groves. This shape pasta from Russello wheat is even more tasty and digestible. The pasta is bronze die-cut, dried slowly at low temperatures to enhance the flavors and preserve the high-
value nutrients of the grain.
No compromises -> The grains are grinded in our stone mill inside the Cilento, Vallo di Diano, and Alburni National Park. We store our semolina in our temperature-controlled warehouse to maintain its integrity and purity. All parts of the grains are used to create our pasta with bronze dies, drying them at low temperatures for up to 55 hours.
It has a low gluten index (a measure of the structural strength of gluten), making it generally suitable for consumption by those who have difficulty assimilating the very stubborn gluten of modern grains, with the exception of those with celiac disease.
About Durum wheat RUSSELLO -> it was widely spread in the South-eastern Sicilysince in the beginning of last century. It proves the wealth of the Sicilian cereal landscape. Characterized by a low gluten index and source of fiber.
About cultivation and value -> LOW IMPACT ANCIENT WHEAT VARIETIES in marginal areas. We grow our ancient grains using Organic Farming practices, renewable energy sources for the stone mill and collect rainwater to irrigate the fields, maintaining soil fertility through composting of processing residues and the practice of crop rotation. Furthermore, we give our farmers a “FAIR PRICE” to compensate for lower yields.
The commitment to conducting regenerative agriculture that is truly sustainable for the environment is total in every aspect of the activities.
