Antichi Poderi Toscani - Germe di Grano pasta line

The secret of the wonderful taste of pasta from the Germe di Grano line is an ingredient that is not found in any ordinary pasta - wheat germ, which is the most valuable part of the grain.

Unlike industrial productions that produce flour without wheat germ, Antichi Poderi Toscani uses artisanal wheat processing techniques that allow the wheat germ to be added back to the flour. The embryos enrich the macron with nutrients, proteins, healthy fats, minerals, vitamins and fiber. The flour prepared in this way produces wonderful pasta with a unique taste, which during cooking releases a strong wheat aroma and turns the water slightly green. The Germe di Grano line of Tuscan pastas are pastas made of 100% Italian durum wheat semolina of the following varieties: Di Grazia, Achille and San Carlo. Wheat grains are ground using the traditional method in Calenzano (Florence). The pasta is shaped using bronze dies, which make its surface rough and perfectly absorbs any type of sauce. Antichi Poderi Toscani pasta is dried for a long time at low temperature to preserve the wonderful taste and aroma of wheat.
