Puglia,
the Land of Wheat
Thanks to its ideal climate, fertile lands, and the expertise of its farmers, the durum wheat cultivated in the Tavoliere of Puglia stands out from other wheats grown in Italy for its flavor, color, and its nutritional and healthful properties.
Granoro Dedicato pasta is made exclusively with durum wheat grown in Puglia, in the vast plain located between the lands of Capitanata, the Subappennine, and the Gargano. This area is renowned for cultivating top-quality wheat without the use of chemical substances. The climate, characterized by the right level of humidity necessary during the growth of the ears and the dry heat for ripening, gives Pugliaās durum wheat a unique and distinctive flavor and an intense wheat aroma.
Naturally ripened under the warm Puglian sun, our wheat and Granoro Dedicato pasta are free from glyphosate, as certified by the third-party certification body DNV. The skill and experience of our farmers have made Puglia the pinnacle of excellence for cultivating the finest durum wheat in Italy, the perfect raw material for Dedicato pasta.
