Chapter 1: Northern Italy. Monograno Felicetti<\/a> and the Role of the Unspoiled Mountain Region<\/h5>\n

Imagine before you an awe-inspiring landscape, where the dramatic peaks of the Dolomite Alps carve through lush green valleys. The air is exceptionally pure, filling your lungs with each breath, and momentarily captivating you with the crystal-clear waters from the high mountain glaciers.<\/p>\n

It is here, nestled in the heart of the Northern Trentino Dolomites, that the pasta makers Monograno Felicetti<\/a> have established themselves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

For over 100 years in this region, Monograno Felicetti has been crafting the highest quality durum wheat pasta without the use of preservatives or artificial dyes. The key ingredients, aside from the pure, high-altitude mountain air and mountain water, are 100% organic whole grain flours. These are prepared using traditional methods to preserve the natural taste and nutritional value of the wheat. It’s an excellent choice for enthusiasts of healthy and organic diets.<\/p>\n

Monograno Felicetti uses only the finest organic ingredients, adhering to strict environmental standards to create pasta of exceptional taste and purity.<\/p>\n

Their pasta is made from exclusive varieties of wheat such as “Il Cappelli”, “Matt”, “Kamut”, and “Farro”. Inspired by nature and faithfully nurturing Italian culinary traditions, Monograno Felicetti has refined their production processes to enrich everyday products with extraordinary flavors.<\/p>\n

Due to their exceptional qualities, these products are perfectly suited for fulfilling the culinary fantasies of Michelin-starred chefs.<\/p>\n

Chapter 2: Tuscany. Antico Pastificio Morelli – The Secret Lies in Wheat Semolina<\/h5>\n

Now, let’s move a bit south from cooler northern Italy to the province of Pisa in the Tuscan region.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1860, the ancient pasta factory of Antico Pastificio Morelli is a family-run business currently led by the fifth generation of the Morelli family. The company produces a wide range of products using traditional artisanal techniques, without the use of preservatives or artificial dyes. The result is truly healthy pasta with an amazing flavor and rich texture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

The secret behind Morelli’s pasta lies in an ingredient not commonly found in most pasta varieties: wheat semolina, the heart of grains rich in vitamins A and D, and vegetable proteins. Typically, during grain milling, wheat semolina is removed, but at Morelli’s pasta factory, artisanal techniques preserve these wheat semolina.<\/p>\n

Over many years of using wheat semolina, this ancient pasta factory has perfected the art of crafting unique and wonderfully flavored pasta that releases a delightful aroma when cooked.<\/p>\n

Their product range includes classic pasta types such as “Tacconi,” traditional “Pici di Siena,” and spelt “Tagliatelle.” They also produce aromatic pastas flavored with saffron, truffles, porcini mushrooms, and cuttlefish ink, ensuring an exceptional variety of pasta options.<\/p>\n

Their products are available in prestigious stores both in Italy and abroad.<\/p>\n
