Cultivation and ecology
This is how "Timilia" durum wheat is grown:
- Cultivation method: Organic farming. "Timilia" is grown by various members of the Valdibella cooperative. The yields are lower than on a conventional wheat field. "But this wheat is ideal for organic farming: it is very resistant to diseases and I don't have to invest money in fertilizer or pest control," says Massimiliano, one of the producers. "Timilia" durum wheat can only be grown on the same field every three years. In the crop rotation, legumes such as lentils and chickpeas, as well as other cereals, are planted in between. The legumes bind nitrogen from the air and thus maintain soil fertility. The "Timilia" durum wheat is sown in February. Before sowing, the soil is gently cultivated without plowing. It can be harvested in May or June. In our video to find out more about the durum wheat variety "Timilia".
- Producers: The durum wheat is grown by various members of the Valdibella cooperative. Here you can find a blog post on "Timilia" cultivation. The grain is cleaned and threshed in a nearby mill. From there, it is delivered to organic pioneer Girolomoni, which uses a gentle process to produce pasta. Valdibella uses the "Addio Pizzo" label to declare that it does not pay protection money to criminal organizations.
This is how the price is made up
Producers can sell the "Timilia" grain to the cooperative for 0.70 euros per kilogram. Conventional durum wheat from the EU is traded at 0.20 to 0.25 euros.

Ein wunderbares Alltags-Lebensmittel, das bei mir im Schrank immer vorrätig sein muss und bisher allen Gästen ein zufriedenes Lächeln ins Gesicht gezaubert hat. Im Vergleich zu Hartweizen-Pasta ist der Eigengeschmack deutlich intensiver, jedoch viel feiner als bei handelsüblicher Vollkorn-Pasta. Und die Linguine nehmen die Sauce gut auf.
