Emmer, a natural hybrid of Einkorn and goat grass, was a dietary staple in Near East communities during the Neolithic Age. Known as "The Pharaoh's Wheat," this ancient grain was prized by ancient Romans and discovered in Egyptian tombs. Like Einkorn, Emmer has lower gluten, higher protein, and rich fibre content, along with essential nutrients like zinc and magnesium. Also called Farro (Italian), it is loved for its nutty flavour.
When it comes to pasta making, Emmer is our favourite grain - it provides a mild nutty flavour and a perfect al dente bite! Tagliatelle is a truly artisan pasta shape as each little nest needs to be rolled by hand.
