• Orzo pasta, or kritharaki in Greek, is in every Greek pantry because its an ideal quick and hearty meal.  This bronze die-cut version is made from the fresh water of Arávissos village and spelt flour (triticum spelta), a hardier and more nutritious cousin of classic wheat flour, with a more easily-digestible form of gluten. The slightly nutty flavor makes it a perfect accompaniment to any tomato-based dish.

• For the discerning pasta lover, Agrozimi offers products that recapture forgotten traditional ways and add experimental new flavors.

  We love spelt kritharáki as a more robust alternative to rice and a perfect base for your favorite vegan dishes. The 500gr. package translates to 1.1lbs., 10% more than the standard pasta packs. While there is a suggested cooking time on the pack, try it for yourself and cook to taste, especially if you like your pasta “al dente”.
