Fontana Formiello - Farro 'Ancient Grain' (8x500g)
Fontana FORMIELLO Farro is an ancient grain with a nutty, slightly sweet flavour and a chewy texture. It stays tender and distinct when cooked, deliciously “al dente”. Farro is one of the oldest grains cultivated by humans. The ancient Romans cultivated it in the Italian peninsula to make food, or to ferment it with water to produce a type of beer.
Today farro is mainly grown in northern and central Italy on the foothills of the Alps and the Apennines.
Use Fontana FORMIELLO farro as a base for salads or at the place of the rice in risotto recipes to make farrotto. Serve it hot for breakfast with sliced peaches and berries, or as a dessert with ricotta cheese and a drizzle of honey.
