Made from high quality durum wheat semolina and water, this pasta is shaped through bronze dies, slow-dried and lightly toasted. This traditional process gives fregula its light brown colour and tasty flavour. Known as Arabic couscous, fregula was introduced to Sardinia by explorers from North Africa and became part of the local cuisine.

Venere Nero originates from China, where black rice or “the forbidden rice” was served exclusively to the Emperor and his court. In the 1990s, an Asian black rice variety was crossed with the Italian Padano rice – a round, medium-grained type of rice – and coined Venere Nero. This whole-grain rice is highly nutritious and has a nutty, aromatic flavour and a firm, slightly chewy texture. Once cooked, the colour shifts from glossy ebony black to rich deep violet. Venere Nero is ideal for rice salads, soups and seafood risotto.
It’s perfect for an authentic Neapolitan pizza. Ideal for medium rising time (10-12hr at room temperature +25 or 12-24hr at +4).
Red Split Lentils are by far the quickest to cook of the lentil family. They need no pre-soaking unlike many legumes and as they are split, they cook very quickly.
Colatura di Alici – this is a traditional Italian anchovy extract that has its roots going back to the Roman condiment garum. It is a slow process making this anchovy extract. Anchovies, fished in spring, are layered in casks with sea salt. The salting process and the maturation can last 24-36 months. During the pressing and maturation phase of the anchovies in salt, the liquid that emerges on the surface is progressively extracted and subjected to a natural concentration process. Strong and full bodied flavour that preserves the aroma of the raw material and has a real umami kick.
Farro is an ancient grain with a nutty, slightly sweet flavour and a chewy texture. It stays tender and distinct when cooked, deliciously “al dente”. Our farro is hulled to allow faster and easier cooking while leaving much of the bran intact to preserve its nutritional properties and ensure a delightful chewy bite, which will hold even when cold. Use in soups, potages, stews or salads.
