These Spelt Sourdough Pasta Shells are made from sustainably grown (ASP Certified*) Spelt (triticum Spelta) wheat.
With origins in the Middle East/ Mesopotamia region around 9000 years ago, Spelt is an ancient member of the Farro family. Spelt contains more fibre than the average grain and today is most known and loved by the modern grain eater for its digestibility, which has been supported by scientific research.
Having a nutty, hearty and nutrient rich taste, this pasta is very versatile, pairing well with anything from full-bodied sauces like a ragu, to burnt butter emulsions.
Stoneground flour is long-fermented using Berkelo’s “mumma” (a wild-fermentation of flour, water and nutritional yeasts), and is then slow air-dried to create Australia's first sourdough pasta, boasting improved digestibility and higher nutritional value.
This unique Pasta range has been created in collaboration with family business, Wholegrain Milling Co., who supply Berkelo with high quality, 100% certified sustainable and organic flours. Their nutrient-rich, stoneground flours are made using grain sourced from local farmers who focus on soil health, and use regenerative farming techniques to support biodiversity and long-term sustainability for their environment.
Plastic-free packaging is certified home-compostable & commercially-compostable so that it can be returned to nature after use.
*ASP Certified Sustainable produce is tested to ensure that it is: Residue-Free, Non-GMO. Independent emissions calculations on their wheat show 75% fewer Green House Gas emissions than conventional production. ASP continues to test their certified products to ensure that they deliver food of the highest quality that is nutrient-dense, and monitor their farmer’s soils to ensure the practices in place are building soil.
