We are Pastificio Carleschi (pronounced Past-if-each-yo Car-less-key). The first artisan producer of organic pasta made using traditional Italian methods and stoneground flour from 100% British grown heritage grain varieties – blending the best of British and Italian heritage.

The pasta we produce is artisan, bronze-extruded, slow dried for up to 40 hours at a low temperature and made solely from British grown organic heritage grains (Spelt, Emmer and Einkorn). Using these particular methods allow us to keep all the nutritional value, taste and fragrance of the ingredients intact as well as ensuring the pasta has great texture & tenure of cooking.

Sustainability is at the heart of every decision made at Pastificio Carleschi. We choose to work with organic farmers and millers in the UK who are working hard to improve the health of the soil and environment whilst producing their heritage grains. These grains were specifically chosen because not only do they grow well in a low input organic system, but because of their height and root density they are perfectly designed to strive in an organic farming system. On top of this, they are rich in fibre and boost a variety of micronutrients not found in modern wheat, so you can imagine why using and creating a demand for these types of grains are beneficial now and crucial for our future.

More benefits to sourcing locally include guaranteed freshness, total traceability and low food miles. We are certified organic by the Soil Association so all grains and milled products are grown without chemical herbicides, pesticides, fungicides and chemicals. Simply put, it’s wheat as nature intended. This method maintains the quality of the soil, fosters biodiversity, reduces pollution from nitrogen run-off, uses less energy and supports both human and animal welfare.

We are part of and support the organic movement as the only regulated and trustworthy certification of low input 'cides'-free farming. We don't call any of our products 'regenerative' or 'innocent' or any other fancy mis-selling words.
