The durum wheat from which this pasta is made comes from ecological and extensive dry farming, in private farms located in the steppe areas of Belchite or Los Monegros, in the valle del Ebro, where the El PlanerónOrnithological Reserve is also located.

Riet Vell buys this wheat from farmers selected by the location of their plots, under the supervision of SEO/BirdLife and trying to offer better economic conditions. These are very low yielding areas in kilos per hectare but ideal for very good quality durum wheat for processing into pasta.


The steppe areas of Belchite and Los Monegros are characterised by the existence of a mosaic of crops, fallow land and woody pastures that form a suitable habitat for very scarce and endangered species such as the Iberian Sandgrouse, the Black-bellied Sandgrouse, the Stone-curlew and the Eurasian Skylark

Manufacturing specifications: The durum wheat is ground to semolina and kneaded with water and then passed through the moulds and left to dry.
