Organic Pearl Spelled

- CEREALS -

Spelled is a very ancient cereal. Already cultivated by the Etruscans and staple food for the Romans, it was considered a very precious commodity. It was in fact used as a bargaining chip and offered as a propitiatory gift to the Gods. Spelled is rich in fiber and protein and the pearled one, from which the external giumella has been removed, keeps its properties almost unchanged. Pearl spelled cooks in 20/25 minutes without the need to soak.

It is most likely the cereal that was first cultivated by man: the oldest evidence of cultivation dates back to 10,500 BC. In 5000 BC. barley spread to Central Europe and Egypt, where as early as 3000 BC. the transformation into beer took place. Rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus, fiber and with a very low glycemic content, barley is particularly suitable in the diets of the elderly and sportsmen. Once cooked, the barley can be used as a base for cold salads or as rice for excellent "orzotti". Pearl barley doesn't need soaking and cooks in about 30 minutes.

Location of Agricola Bittarelli and map

Our company is located on the hills of Lake Trasimeno

The Bittarelli family has lived and worked on these lands since 1940, first as farmers and since 1970 as owners.
Thus the family-run Bittarelli farm was born, which extends over about 30 hectares and uses the biological method and land rotation for its productions, to obtain a healthy and quality harvest.

Since 2003 we have started the production of small national chickpeas, spelled, barley, grass peas and Trasimeno bean, an ancient legume that has found in these places the ideal climate and soil to become a unique and high quality product, protected by the Trasimeno bean Consortium.
