Russello is an ancient Sicilian grain renowned for its distinctive flavor and nutritional benefits. Characterized by its reddish hue and high protein content, Russello is a hard wheat variety cultivated in Sicily for centuries. With its excellent resistance to drought and pests, this heritage grain thrives in the island's unique climate.
The flour produced from Russello is ideal for making traditional breads, pasta, and baked goods, offering a rich, nutty taste that enhances culinary creations. Rediscovered by contemporary bakers and chefs, this wheat stands as a testament to Sicily's agricultural heritage.
Our grain is grown using sustainable and organic methods. In Itay it takes two years to become organically certified so although we will have the certification next year, we used only organic means to grow, harvest, and process the wheat.
