Plastic Free Pantry - Wholewheat Fusilli

We’re really proud of this pasta. We make it in small batches using traditional bronze dies to cut the pasta which gives it a better texture for sauce to cling to. We then slowly dry it at low temperature to preserve all the goodness in the grains.

We use the finest British organic heritage grain wheat, freshly milled in Northumberland.

Heritage grains are those which have naturally adapted to the growing conditions of the UK. Most wheat has been selectively bred for yield, but requires intensive farming techniques which damage the soils while planting large mono-crops which can mean whole crops is lost to disease or climate change. The natural diversity inherent in heritage grains offer better soil protection and better resilience to disease and climate change. If we’re to continue feeding ourselves as a planet, supporting small scale farmers growing heritage grain wheat is vital.

The result is a pasta which is rich in flavour and kind to the planet.
