Spelt is the ancient grain at the helm of the grain family which has been a prime source of nutrition for humanity over the centuries. The most ancient tales of spelt harvesting go back to 7000 BC and confirm its presence during man’s very first agricultural experiences. Triticum dicoccum has vanished from the modern agricultural scene because it has been replaced with grains that are mass-produced. Hybrids and selections that have modified other grains and cereals have not affected spelt, which comes to our dinner table untouched by the passing of time. Using stone-ground wheat flours to make whole-wheat spelt pasta permits the retention of all the nutritional benefits of this staple.
La Terra E Il Cielo ("The Earth and The Sky") was founded in 1980 by the pioneering initiative of the first members, in a historical period in which conventional agriculture prevails and the organic sector represents a niche. Organic since its inception.
Over the years, the cooperative has become a solid organic reality without ever losing touch with the values of solidarity, equity and respect for nature. Today pasta and all the other organic products, obtained from raw materials grown in uncontaminated environments and with the aim of a fair remuneration of the farmers, are the most appreciated in many countries of the world.
