Volanti, semolina

We shortened the Italian name for our organic Volanti. Normally they are called "Dischi Volanti", which means "flying saucer". But "Volanti" is easier to pronounce and simply sounds better!

Flying saucer!

  • great for pasta salad
  • the perfect mixture of different sorts of Italian durum wheat
  • "al dente" quality
  • high content of gluten
  • keep their form after boiling

Organic Byodo Volanti are perfect for sauce dishes, casseroles and noodle salads. Especially children like this format, as there is a lot of sauce concentrating in the fringe!

Ingredients

  • durum wheat*
*organically grown


DE-ÖKO-013 / Italian Agriculture

Information on production

10.000 kg of freshly ground durum wheat or durum wholemeal wheat are mixed together with 3.000 l of water. According to size and shape the mixture is then pressed through the designated die plates. The ideal material for the die plates is bronze. Bronze roughens up the noodle surface and therefore makes sure that the noodles can soak up the sauce after cooking. Byodo Pasta is dried at temperatures between 40 - 55 °C. This slow but constant process of drying guarantees a beautiful noodle shape without any rips and cuts.

Did you know...?

  • For more than 20 years now we have been getting the durum wheat for our organic pasta exclusively from Italy - directly from a producer cooperative consisting of 13 farmers. While the cooperative is based in North Italy in the region of Lombardia, the cultivation areas of the producers lie in the regions of Basilicata, Puglia, Lazio and Sicilia.
  • For the last few years the organic pasta production has exclusively been lying in the hands of this cooperative. This is exceptional throughout the whole organic market.
  • Nutrionists found out lately that pasta does not only make you feel full up. It makes you feel happy as well. The substance responsible for good mood is called serotonin. The complex structure of carbohydrates in the noodle is essentail for its creation.
  • You need 1 l water for 100 g pasta, which is to be boiled in a sufficiently big pot. The water must be salted, a trifle of oil protcts especially flat and wide noodles from sticking.
