Traditional flours but not only: our "Grani Antichi"
"Grani Antichi" Valentini is a gastronomic culture project that was born and developed with one goal: to make tradition and craftsmanship coexist with a "contemporary feeling".
The Verna wheat we use is grown in Tuscany in the Casentinesi Forest National Park above 400m above sea level, it is slowly stone ground to maintain its lipid-vitamin properties. This grain is low in protein and low in gluten.
Tests carried out on people fed with this particular grain resulted in a significant lowering of bad cholesterol, preventing cardiovascular disease, with a strong beneficial impact on intestinal inflammatory indices connected with the onset of colon cancer.
