product details
- Origin:
This food product is very similar to wheat but it is characterised due to its special grain that remains covered even after threshing. Traditionally, spelt is perfect for a minestrone soup with lentils.
It is currently cultivated in a limited area of approximately 3 to 4 hectares by very few farms in the area. A local variety sown from time immemorial is cultivated. Ancient Mediterranean populations used spelt as a primary ingredient for soups and focaccia, integrated with meat, milk and derivatives. During the Roman Empire it was rewarded to heroes as a symbol of honour and glory: it was also used in propitiation rituals, especially by the Vestals.
