British Wholegrain Emmer Casarecce - Organic

What Is Casarecce Pasta?

Casarecce originated in Sicily. It is a traditional short pasta, loosely rolled lengthways and slightly twisted. The twisted shape makes them perfect for holding all types of sauces - from pestos to chunky sauces.

Emmer (also known as Farro) is an ancient grain, an ancestor of durum wheat and was one of the first cereals cultivated in the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East.

This wonderful emmer casarecce has a delicious nutty flavour and has been carefully made to keep as many of the nutritional qualities of the emmer grain as possible.

Wholegrain Pasta

Stoneground milling retains the vitamins and minerals found in the grain (as opposed to industrially ground flour which strips the flour of most of the important minerals, fats, fibre and vitamins). 

The pasta is then carefully dried at a low temperature in order to keep as many vitamins in as possible and to keep the structure of the pasta relaxed. 

The tasting notes of this emmer pasta include hazelnut, toasted walnut and dark chocolate.
