These short ribbed pasta tubes are made from organically produced durum wheat grown in Italy.

The pasta is extruded using bronze dies, rather than teflon like commercial pasta, to create a rough, porous surface that helps sauces to cling to it.

Organic artisan pasta made with semi-whole durum wheat semolina. Bronze extruded to create a rough surface that holds sauce. Perfect for creating a simple nutritious meal that does not compromise on taste.

Try with Callipo tuna, capers, lemon and extra virgin olive oil.

Perched on a hill overlooking the rolling countryside that surrounds the town of Isola del Piano, sits a 600-year-old monastery that today serves as a proud and symbolic headquarters for Girolomoni. Previously known as Montebello, this range has been renamed in honour of the founder of the co-operative that produces these top-quality products.

When Gino Girolomoni, then the young mayor of the nearby town began renovations in the 1970s, the area was desolate and alienated. Farmlands had been left to waste, and whole generations had moved to the cities. Patiently however, Gino began to promote initiatives hoping to provide the region with a sustainable economy using traditional organic farming methods. The monastery renovations were completed, and abandoned farmhouses were used to house local farmers while they learnt about organic methods and sustainability. Eventually a mill, a pasta factory and a wooden storehouse were built to accommodate the growth that this pioneering co-operative was generating.

The quality of wheat is key and the area around Isola del Piano is ideal for pasta due to the careful rotation of crops throughout the seasons. This means the soil is always in a condition to produce healthy cereals. Spring water from the hills above the fields is used and some varieties of pasta are bronze extruded to give a coarse feel that adds texture and holds sauce when cooked. In the world of organic pasta production, patience is everything.

More than thirty years on, the Girolomoni brand and the surrounding region have become synonymous with organic farming and Gino Girolomoni is recognized as a pioneer of the organic movement in Italy. The co-operative has continued to grow with over thirty local farms joining and following its principles.

Carnaroli rice is grown to organic principals and is artisan-milled outside of Verona, it has a larger and longer grain. It contributes a beautiful nutty flavour to any dish.

Traditionally used for making easy and delicious risotto every time, see the back of the pack for the no-stir cooking method.

Ferron risotto rice comes from Isola della Scala, just out of Verona. Their historic 17^th century rice mill is thought to be the oldest working mill in Italy and is still water-driven. It is still used to process some rice and is complemented by “modern” machines from the 1950s. Carnaroli and Vialone Nano rice are grown in the traditional, centuries old, agricultural method, without the use of chemical fertilisers or pesticides. In 1996, Ferron Vialone Nano rice was declared an “Indicazione Geografica Protetta” (IGP) - a geographically protected product with an assurance of quality and authenticity. It is the only variety in Europe that carries the IGP quality guarantee.

Ferron rice is very different to the more commercially produced Arborio or Vercelli rice. It is not highly polished, ensuring more essential starch and vitamins remain, giving the rice a greater yield, better texture and a distinct, nutty taste. The rice has the amazing ability to not only absorb greater quantities of stock but to also retain the classic individuality of the grain.

From La Vera in Spain, this Paprika is smoked slowly over a low flame for several days intensifying its flavour and colour.

Picante paprika has a direct and silky heat to it. Add some heat to classic dishes like paella, winter soups and chorizo sausage.

Capsicum peppers were brought to Europe by Christopher Columbus, and the Spanish were the first to mill them into a powdered spice. Today, pimentón (paprika) remains one of the Spanish kitchen's defining ingredients. Not far from where Columbus introduced the capsicum plant to Spain, is the Extremadura region, famous for its world-renowned smoked paprika. In 1993, smoked paprika from La Vera, in Extremadura, became the world’s first pepper spice with denomination of origin status.

Of all the producers in this area, La Chinata, a small family-owned and operated business, are considered to produce the finest Spanish paprika, owing to their dedication to quality and the patience and care involved in their traditional, artisan process.

Their peppers are oak-smoked for up to two weeks before being slowly ground between stone-cut wheels for 9 hours, until they reach a super-fine texture. The heat produced by the friction of the stones is carefully controlled, as maintaining a lower temperature releases the full aromas and flavours locked in the peppers’ oils.

There are three varieties of La Chinata smoked paprika, each made from a different variety of pepper; Dulce (sweet), Agridulce (bittersweet) and Picante (spicy). Their distinctive red tins are recognised around the world and are the choice of world-famous chefs such as Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson and Gordon Ramsay. Their new innovation are ground paprika flakes (branded under Pons), chunkier than their fine powder and offering a new multitude of uses.
