CARPANEA

Impastarci is a Social Cooperative that produces high-quality dried pasta, bronze-drawn and dried at low temperatures and slowly (16-24 hours) in static cells. This is how we obtain Pasta CARPANEA, with wholemeal flours from ancient grains, hemp and legumes. All products and raw materials are 100% Italian, in single variety and strictly ORGANIC. 
Our project was born with the social objective of job placement for women victims of violence. We operate and are partners of Project N.AT.Ve (Anti-Trafficking Network for Veneto here is the link) http://www.projectship.it funded by the Ministry of Equal Opportunities. With them we activate internships and in some cases, job placements in our small production reality. As you can see from the title, our motto is: "eat well, live well and do good", the core of our mission. 
 
Pasta CARPANEA stands out not only for its specific flavors and organoleptic qualities, but also for its health characteristics: it has a lower glycemic index than other pastas, which is why it is particularly suitable for low-calorie diets; gluten proteins (except legumes that do not contain them) are less elastic and in reduced quantities, therefore suitable for those who prefer a healthier diet low in gluten. 
Those who have tried Pasta CARPANEA have given us positive feedback regarding its high digestibility, its effective state of well-being and its taste and it has also been rewarded by our consumers for its cooking speed. 
With the ancient Margherito wheat semolina and the addition of hemp flour, we have created a recipe that has given us a lot of satisfaction: a pasta much loved by those who practice sports, highly protein with a vague hazelnut aftertaste, naturally low in sugar, salt and saturated fats, harmful to our health. 
An alternative to traditional durum wheat pasta is CARPANEA Legume Pasta 100% legume flour, very high in protein, gluten-free, therefore suitable for athletes, those who love to stay healthy and - why not - given its colors, even for children. Just a legume, without chemical or natural thickeners, a pre-gelatinized flour to give it shape and above all an adequate hold during cooking.


The ethical mission of the coop. Impastarci is also expressed in the choice of credit sources and its suppliers that we choose with a careful evaluation through parameters that reflect the philosophy of our project. 
We have chosen a Bank in line with our thinking and the way of interacting with the market: Banca Etica. A Cooperative Bank that promotes projects of social, cultural and environmental value, looking first and foremost at people, a Bank with a moral and ethical rigor that should be the heritage of all Banks. 
We care about people and our territory, and we believe it is important to make known the path that brings CARPANEA pasta from the seed to the table. 
With Mulino Crisafulli (our flour supplier and winner of the Canapa è 2020 award, as well as a producer attentive to biodiversity and sensitive to all natural agricultural practices that go beyond the organic certification of raw materials) a traceability project is being studied through the geolocalization of the production batch within the farm and up to our laboratory. 
Finally, in the midst of so many daily commitments, a new project of the cooperative is about to be born, always under the name CARPANEA, a project that includes the production of dried fruit.Project still in progress and in the development phase but we hope it can be started by September
