The hard wheat used to make this pasta comes from extensive and rainfed organic crops, located on private farms in the steppe areas of Belchite or Los Monegros, in the Ebro Valley, where the El Planerón Ornithological Reserve is also located.
Riet Vell purchases this wheat from selected farmers based on the location of their plots, under the supervision of SEO/BirdLife, and aiming to offer better economic conditions. These are areas with very low productivity in kilograms per hectare, but ideal for high-quality hard wheat for food production.
The steppe areas of Belchite and Los Monegros are characterized by the presence of a mosaic of crops, fallow fields, and woody pastures that make up a habitat suitable for very rare and endangered species such as the Spanish Great Bustard, the Little Bustard, the Stone Curlew, or the Tawny Pipit.
Manufacturing Specifications: The hard wheat is ground into semolina and kneaded with water, then passed through molds and left to dry.
