Is your pasta Gluten free?

Our pasta is not gluten free and is therefore not suitable for coeliacs. We use Spelt to make our pasta, which contains less gluten. This gluten is also more soluble meaning it is much easier to digest. Our pasta is also slow-dried which makes it much easier to digest too. We have a lot of customers who struggle with gluten, enjoy our pasta. You will notice it is much lighter and nurtures your gut.

What is Spelt?

Spelt is an Ancient Grain, believed to have been cultivated since 5000BC. And this is good, because unlike a lot of our modern wheats it has not been genetically modified.
It does contain some gluten, but the gluten has not been altered, it is natural, therefore more soluble. It is the unnatural, large quantities of gluten in modern flours that our bodies often react to. Spelt has a gorgeous, nutty flavour.
All our Spelt is grown in Britain and we source it from British Millers.

Is your pasta Vegan?

YES! Just British flour & water go into making our delicious pasta.

Why is Supermarket pasta so yellow?

We all think yellow pasta means better. Yes with fresh pasta.

But absolutely not with dried pasta. In fact, bright yellow dried pasta is a bad sign. It means the pasta has been dried at high temperatures which has burnt the starch. This means all nutrition has been zapped and the starch has been burned which makes it incredibly hard to digest (hello bloating, fatigue, heaviness, discomfort!)

Our pasta is slow dried. The starches do not burn making our pasta light and easier to digest.

What’s the best way to cook your pasta?

Fill a large saucepan with lots of water & bring to the boil. Add a large pinch of salt (we want salty-seawater) & then add your pasta following the timings on the bag. Taste your pasta before the time is up for the best al dente bite. Drain in a colander. be sure to keep some cooking water. Toss in your delicious sauce adding the cooking water as needed to coat your pasta perfectly.
Enjoy!
