Producer Learn more about who made this product.

Founded in 1860 in Tuscany, Antico Pastificio Morelli is a family-run pasta producer known for bringing back the traditional art of making pasta with wheat germ – the most nutritious part of the grain. Their unique method preserves the wheat germ in the semolina, giving the pasta a rich, nutty flavour, golden colour and exceptional aroma. Today, Morelli continues to craft pasta slowly and carefully, using bronze dies and low-temperature drying, to create truly authentic Italian pasta that captures the taste of Tuscany.

FAQs Answers to common questions about this product.

1. What is wheat germ?

Wheat germ is the small, nutrient-rich core of the wheat grain that is usually removed during modern milling. In pasta, it adds a nutty flavour, golden colour, and extra nutrition.

2. Why is wheat germ good for you?

Wheat germ is naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, fibre, and protein. Keeping it in the pasta makes it more wholesome than standard pasta, while also enhancing the taste and aroma.

3. Does wheat germ pasta taste different from regular pasta?

Yes – wheat germ pasta has a fuller, nuttier flavour and a more aromatic quality than ordinary durum wheat pasta. It also tends to hold sauces better thanks to its texture.
