Organic Spaghetti, Durum Wheat Semolina - Girolomoni

We are VERY proud to carry Girolomoni’s organic, ancient wheat pastas in Thailand. This is their organic Durum Semolina wheat spaghetti. Spaghetti is a long, thin pasta that is a beloved staple in Italian cuisine. Made from high-quality durum wheat semolina, this pasta offers a firm texture and a slightly nutty flavor, perfect for achieving the ideal al dente bite. Classic recipes for this spaghetti include Spaghetti Bolognese, where the pasta is coated in a rich meat sauce, Spaghetti Puttanesca with its bold, tangy flavors of olives, capers, and anchovies, or the simple yet elegant Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe, featuring a creamy cheese and black pepper sauce. About the producer: Gino Girolomoni was one of the pioneers of organic farming in Italy, or as he called it, restoring dignity to the land. He saw industrialization as a step backward for the health of the land, the food, and the agricultural communities that he had grown up in. Starting in the 1970s, he gave more than 500 lectures on organic & regenerative farming techniques across Italy, teaching farmers how to get the most from their land without synthetic or chemical inputs. He was one of the early advocates of growing the ancient wheat grains varieties because they are superior in nutrients and taste - not optimized for mass production. Fifty years later, there are more than 400 organic farms in Girolomoni’s “Montebello” coop, with most of them in the Marche region. They control the product from the seed and soil, into their own mill, and finally to the pasta factory where it’s mixed with their spring water to become exceptional pasta. The coop reinvests profits into further development of farmer education and agrotechnology that works in concert with the land rather than against it, and today the Marche region is aiming to become the largest “Single Organic District” in Europe.
