British Wholegrain Spelt Conchiglie - Organic

What is Conchiglie Pasta?

Conchiglie is a pasta variety that is shaped like a conch shell. The smallest shell shape is called conchigliette and the largest shell shape is called conchiglioni. Each of these conchiglie have the same shape but different dimensions.

This wonderful spelt conchiglie has a lovely nutty flavour and has been carefully made to keep as many of the nutritional qualities of the spelt grain as possible.

Wholegrain Pasta

Importantly, it is made with stoneground wholegrain spelt - stoneground milling retains the vitamins and minerals found in the 3 parts of the grain - the bran, germ and endosperm (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 spelt pasta include toasted almond, light brown walnut, toffee and caramel.
