Antichi Poderi Toscani, Pasta with Wheat Germ, Tortiglioni, 500 gr

They distinguish themselves for the presence of the Wheat Germ, the heart of the grain of wheat, rich in flavour and nourishing active ingredients.

Tortiglioni are a type of macaroni. The “tortiglione” is a characteristic pattern produced by the lathe, with spiral lines just like the ones on the pasta.

Produced with Tuscan durum wheat semolina, processed using artisan methods, bronze-drawn and dried at a low temperature.

They distinguish themselves for the presence of the Wheat Germ, the heart of the grain of wheat, rich in flavour and nourishing active ingredients.

The germ is normally removed when the grain is milled in order to improve flour conservation.

Antichi Poderi has used artisanal techniques to restore it to the flour, because it processes it immediately, when still fresh.

After years of using Wheat germ, Antichi Poderi has managed to create pasta with its extraordinary, unmistakable flavour.

An intense wheat aroma is released during cooking and the water turns slightly green, because of the presence of the wheat germ.

This Durum Wheat Semolina pasta has excellent consistency and is ideal for serving with simple sauces.
