From our Grains

At Podere Il Casale, we grow a variety of organic ancient grains in the Val d’Orcia region using the technique of evolutionary blending. This type of grain contains less gluten, making it lighter and more digestible for our bodies. Once harvested, it is stone-milled at a local mill just a few minutes away from our farm, which still grinds at low speed using traditional stone milling methods.

With the resulting flours, we produce pasta, bread, and baked goods, which are also used in our agriturismo restaurant. Consuming ancient grains often means choosing short supply chain products, meaning locally sourced and controlled products that are guaranteed. It also means consuming foods that are more digestible and offer better nutritional benefits for our diet, not to mention that they taste better!
