Made from 100% British-grown organic einkorn wheat, our Ditalini celebrate one of the oldest cultivated varieties of wheat, transformed into artisan dry pasta in our Hertfordshire pastificio.

Einkorn (Triticum monococcum) has a distinctive golden colour and a wonderfully complex, delicate flavour. We find notes of honey, honeycomb, chamomile, vanilla, cinnamon and white chocolate in its aroma and taste.

Our einkorn is stoneground into wholegrain flour by Gilchesters Organics, retaining the bran, germ and endosperm. We then extrude the dough through bronze dies and slowly dry the pasta for at least 36 hours at temperatures not exceeding 47°C.

Ditalini means "little thimbles" in Italian. These small, short tubes are particularly well suited to soups, minestrone, pasta e fagioli and dishes with beans, pulses and seasonal vegetables. Their compact shape also makes them ideal for hearty pasta salads.
