In the Paretone farm we cultivate ancient grains and cultivate them to transform them into flour , to bring quality and authenticity to your tables.
It starts from the wheat harvest , which takes place in the period from late June and early July through the use of the combine , a modern agricultural machine.
In the Mill ...
Once harvested, the wheat is stored in silos and transported to a mill to third parties, whenever the reserves of flour run out, this always allows us to have a fresh product available.
In fact, this mill performs a roller milling which takes place in a few steps and allows a break of the grain that separates the inside (endosperm) from the cortical parts of the wheat kernels, without removing the germ.
The grain of wheat, called carioxide , is the dried fruit of wheat. It is composed of three parts: Endosperm, bran and germ.
-The enadosperma represents most of the weight of the grain which contains proteins, soluble fiber and carbohydrates.
-The bran contains additional vitamins, minerals and large quantities of dietary fiber.
- The germ , on the other hand, is a real concentrate of nutrients such as amino acids, fatty acids, mineral salts, B vitamins and E vitamins , very useful for human health.
The combination of ancient knowledge and modern techniques come together to create quality products , semolina and wholemeal flour , ideal for the preparation of pasta, bread, pizzas and focaccias, bringing the flavors and tradition of Italian cuisine to the table.
The flours are packaged in bags of various sizes: 1 kg-5kg-10kg according to customer needs.
