Grain producers,  Italian grain producers who produce wheat in Italy, many farmers have lately directed to organic cultivation of wheat.

Wheat since ancient times is one of the most important forms of nutrition for humans. This, also called wheat differs in durum and soft wheat. The difference lies in the type of grain and the uses that they make.

The wheat flour are used for bread making, for the production of fresh pasta or vacuum. With these also produces biscuits, cakes and other baked products. But with groats, obtained from wheat, other foods are produced. For example, dried pasta and some bread, famous is the bread of Altamura.

The flour is composed mainly of starch, gluten and also dextrin, and sugars. For this it is a prohibitive product for celiac. In this regard we have been created food gluten-free lines.

Italy produces every year about eight million tons of wheat. The largest area in Italy in terms of grain production is the province of Foggia, known as the Granary of Italy.

Producers Italian wheat are only able to produce 8 million tons of wheat the other 50% of our needs, we are forced to import it.

The production of Italian grain is very difficult to protect as Made in Italy given that Italy produces just over 50% of its total needs.

In fact, we import about 50% wheat and 40% of wheat to meet our needs. In any case, we have so many manufacturers Italian grain with care and passion cultivate this important cereal. Some risk of importing wheat with traces of pesticides or mycotoxins there but we can not do otherwise for our needs. Obviously we in this section we will give space to producers Italian wheat.

Very hard in this area to guarantee 100% the consumer on what bring to the table. We have only one suggestion about. To buy bread or pasta products with wheat of Italian origin. This can only be done by choosing products Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), or brands that clearly state that they only use Italian wheat.
