| Description | Pasta with the shape of an olive leaf, produced with durum wheat grown in the fields of I Contadini in Salento, milled while preserving a part of the bran to obtain a less refined semolina |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Pasta with a shape that recalls the olive leaves, in tribute of this traditional tree of Apulia; the surface is rough and porous |
| Taste | Excellent cooking resistance |
| Curiosity | The wheat is milled just before going into production in order to preserve all its nutritional and organoleptic characteristics. In the pasta laboratory all the operations are performed manually: the product is taken at the exit from the dies and dried at a low temperature for more than 48 hours. Packaging is also done by hand |
| Our selection | We selected the pasta by I Contadini because it comes from a short production chain rich in identity: the durum wheat is cultivated in the fields of the Trentin brothers with a careful approach to the enviroment, the cereal and the tradition; the wheat is milled in a mill in Salento and the production takes place in a local laboratory where most of the operations are performed manually. A pasta that really speaks the Apulian language! |

The producer
I Contadini - Ugento (LE) - Apulia
Why we chose them
The Trentin family's story is one of tenacity and love for their land, Puglia. The I Contadini farm, now in its third generation, was founded in one of the
most suitable areas for growing vegetables, Puglia, more precisely in Ugento (LE), in one of the southernmost areas of Italy's "heel", in Salento. The
particular climatic conditions of this sun-kissed land, the composition of the soil and the influence of the sea allow for excellent vegetable production.
All stages of cultivation are carried out directly on the farm, from transplanting to harvesting: over 20 hectares of tomatoes, aubergines, courgettes,
peppers and artichokes are grown in open fields. Processing also takes place in the farm's facilities shortly after harvesting. An integrated farming
method has been adopted to ensure a product free of pesticide residues: before harvesting, analyses are carried out to check for product residues
and ensure the healthiness of the vegetables. Many of the vegetables harvested are dried in the sun on racks according to tradition. This is an
ancient practice that has now been almost completely abandoned because it is difficult and delicate, but it offers unparalleled results: soft pulp and
preservation of vitamins, proteins and mineral salts. What we like about this company is the combination of its connection to the land - reflected in
the name they have chosen, "I Contadini" (The Farmers) - and its entrepreneurial spirit, which translates the desire to showcase the gastronomic
heritage of a land rich in nature, traditions and hospitality into an ever-expanding range of products. Not only vegetables, but also other products that
reflect the gastronomic heritage of Salento, such as taralli, made with Senatore Cappelli durum wheat, boiled before baking, which in this case is
done twice, and containing white wine inside.
