The
ancient durum wheat varieties have recently been doing a comeback, once they were abandoned for their poor yield, nowadays they’ve been reconsidered for their extraordinary
organoleptic properties and the characteristic aromas that distinguish themselves from the most common ones.
The
Russulidda is part of this category, a
Sicilian ancient durum wheat which is a truly unique variety as benefits on health (low gluten content, facilitation of digestion, high lignin content that favours the circulatory system) and the aromatic typicalness.
Fastuchera Azienda Agricola is a small Sicilian reality, starting from the
ancient wheats cultivation to the transformation in
hand made pasta, obtaining a
Sicilian ancient wheat pasta from
organic agriculture.
Yesterday some new products have been presented, among which the
Paccheri di Russulidda - Fastuchera Azienda Agricola, a typical format of the southern Italy gastronomic tradition which finds in this variety an original aromatic mark and inviting toasted perfumes.
