Burnt Wheat from Molino Bongermino: A Rediscovered Treasure of Puglian Tradition

Imagine savoring a mouthful of pasta that encapsulates centuries of history and tradition. This is what Molino Bongermino's Burnt Wheat offers, an ingredient that's revolutionizing Italian kitchens with its unique flavor and fascinating history.

The Essence of Burnt Wheat: A Journey Through Time

Burnt Wheat, also known as "grano arso," is not just another type of flour. It's a journey through time, a return to the roots of Puglian cuisine. Born from the necessity and ingenuity of farmers who collected the grains left in the fields after stubble burning, this wheat has traversed centuries to reach us, carrying with it the authentic flavor of the land.

The history of Burnt Wheat dates back to ancient times when Puglian farmers, driven by necessity, gathered the wheat grains remaining in the fields after stubble burning. This process gave the wheat a unique toasted flavor and a distinctive dark coloration. Today, Molino Bongermino has perfected the art of producing Burnt Wheat, combining traditional methods with cutting-edge technologies. The result? A flour that is not just an ingredient, but a culinary experience in itself.
