A Greek twist on spelt pasta! Tasty Greek hilopites look like fettuccine but come from the ancient Greek pasta, láganon. This delicious spelt version is bronze die-cut and made from robust spelt flour and the fresh spring water from the northern Greek village of Arávissos, where Agrozimi has been based for three generations. Spelt is a long-ago ancestor of today’s commercial wheat, and more easily digested, since its gluten has more water-soluble proteins. In fact, spelt’s total protein content is up to 25% higher than most typical wheat varieties. Spelt is an excellent source of iron, magnesium, zinc, vitamins B1 and B2, and beneficial fatty acids.
We chose Agrozimi for brothers Kostas and Yiorgos Martavaltzoglou’s love of tradition, while still daring to experiment with flavors and techniques. We were also impressed by their state-of-the-art facility and commitment to high-quality product standards, all that show in their exceptional pasta.
