The Millennial Bond with the Land: Timilia Ancient Grain Ditali

The Timilia variety, historically known as Trimenaio due to its three-month growth cycle, is a treasure of Sicilian biodiversity dating back to the Greek era. These ditali encapsulate an intense aromatic profile, with notes of hazelnut and toasted cereal, bringing the millennial history of the island's granaries to your table.

INGREDIENT ANALYSIS AND TASTE

• 🌱 Timilia Ancient Grain: A short-cycle variety that, unlike modern grains, has maintained a less tenacious gluten structure, making the pasta extremely digestible and gentle on the digestive system.
• 🧑🍳 Stone Milling: This ancestral technique ensures the semolina does not overheat and keeps the wheat germ intact, guaranteeing a fiber (11.3g) and protein (12.6g) content significantly higher than refined industrial pastas.
• 🌋 Bronze Die-Cuts and Slow Drying: The surface of the ditali is rough and porous, perfect for "hooking" sauces and broths. Low-temperature drying preserves nutritional values and the natural structure of the starches.
• ✅ Guaranteed Purity: Product free from preservatives and dyes, obtained exclusively from grains grown in Sicily without the use of invasive pesticides.

PRODUCT SHEET

🍷 The Taste Ambassador recommends:

I suggest trying these ditali for a classic Sicilian "Pasta e Fasola" (pasta and beans). Thanks to the stone milling, the ditali release a small amount of noble starch during cooking, which creates an exceptional natural creaminess. Attention: precisely because it is wholemeal and artisanal, the pasta continues to cook by residual heat even after you turn off the flame. Drain or serve it very al dente to fully enjoy its firm texture.
