Ingredients: Organic "Saragolla" durum wheat flour, water. Contains GLUTEN.

Saragolla": The integral pasta is made with "Saragolla" type durum wheat flour grown directly by the "Pastificio" Testa in the province of Campobasso. This ancient variety of wheat is grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides. After harvesting, the wheat is stone-ground. The low operating temperature of the mill ensures that the nutritional properties of the flour are not altered. The resulting flour or semolina is processed with bronze dies to leave the surface of the dough rough and porous to better retain the sauce. The result is an exceptional dough which, when immersed in water, will give an intense aroma and a strong taste.

Saragolla" is an ancient variety of durum wheat, like "Senatore Cappelli", which was grown in southern Italy, in Sicily and Sardinia. It was introduced into Abruzzo in 400 AD by the proto-Bulgarian people (the Altzek), who came from Egypt. These varieties were replaced by modern wheat because of their low productivity. Reintroduced recently for its superior nutritional qualities, "Saragolla" is becoming increasingly popular. Its most famous name is "Khorasan" marketed under the registered trademark "Kamut".
