Our land has a new story to tell. This year, within our historic "chiuse," we made a choice steeped in tradition, respect for the environment, and love for Sicily: we grew Russello wheat .
What is Russello Wheat?
Russello is an ancient Sicilian durum wheat variety. It takes its name from the distinctive reddish color of its ears. It is a proud grain, growing tall and strong, capable of naturally withstanding the island's temperatures without the need for chemical aids.
Choosing this wheat means protecting the biodiversity of our territory.
Our flour will be arriving soon!
The harvest is over, and the golden grains are ready for milling. It's almost time: soon we'll have our own farm-grown flour , produced entirely on the land surrounding the farmhouse. It will be a whole-wheat flour, rich in fiber, with the enveloping aroma of wild herbs and sunshine.
Get your hands dirty in our Cooking Classes
We can't wait for you to experience this miracle of nature firsthand. Our new flour will be the star of our cooking classes at Chiuse di Guadagna.
Together with you:
We will knead thoroughly following the secrets of tradition.
We will create artisanal pasta shapes typical of our area.
We will season the dishes with vegetables from our garden and our extra virgin olive oil.
For us, growing Russello wheat was not just an agricultural job, but an act of love towards our guests, to offer you an increasingly authentic and locally sourced rural experience.
We look forward to making pasta together!
