Organic British White Spelt Mezzi Rigatoni

What Is Spelt?

Spelt (T. aestivum subsp. spelta) is a hulled wheat, that has less gluten than bread wheat and tastes of toasted almond, light brown walnut, toffee, caramel.

It is an excellent source of carbohydrates and dietary fiber. It is particularly rich in iron, magnesium, phosphorous, zinc and niacin (vitamin B3) as well as micronutrients such as calcium and vitamin E.

What Is White Spelt Mezzi Rigatoni?

This White Spelt Mezzi Rigatoni pasta is made with stoneground white spelt so that none of the amazing nutritional and health benefits of this grain are lost in the milling process.

Not to degenerate any of the vitamins, Pastificio Carleschi produce and dry their pasta at low temperature. The same bouquet we enjoy when mixing spelt flour with water we recognise in our finished dry pasta as a sign that nothing is lost in our artisan process.

Stoneground, Bronze Extruded & Slow Dried 

Pastificio Carleschi British pasta is made just north of London exclusively using British sourced spelt, emmer and einkorn grains, ensuring complete traceability from field to plate.

Each grain is meticulously stoneground before being bronze-extruded and slow dried at low temperatures for up to 40 hours on wooden shelves.

Creating pasta using this traditional method keeps all the nutritional value, taste and fragrance of the ingredients and ensures great texture, taste and tenure when cooked!
