Experience an historical culinary treat, once eaten by the Roman Empire, with Tenuta Castello's Whole Grain Farro from the province of Piemonte. Also known as Emmer wheat (triticum dicoccon), Farro is an ancient Italian grain with a firm, chewy texture that's similar to spelt. With a nutty flavor and texture and a low gluten content, Farro has been gaining popularity amongst gastronomes in Italy and America. Great as a side dish, salad condiment or an alternative to potatoes or rice. Simply boil farro in salted water for a couple minutes, drain and add fresh tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil and fresh herbs. Garnish with grated Grana cheese. The Vercellone family has been cultivating grains for over 100 years in the heart of the Po Delta near Vercelli, Italy. Their Tenuta Castello products are certified organic. Their grains are processed in traditional mills that leave much of each grain's kernel intact without polishing or shining. The result is superior flavor, structure and consistency with a high nutrient content. Artisanal quality and full flavor are hallmarks of the entire Tenuta Castello line. Organic. Imported from Italy. 1 lb. bag.
