Who we are

We’re an Italian family business that has ventured the world.
A lot of things have changed since we started out in the eighties,
while we have vowed never to change others.
Such as our interest towards new things,
the commitment to growing in a healthy and sustainable way, and enterprise.
We really haven’t stopped in all these years.
More specifically, we have selected and processed 
our raw ingredients (grains, pulses and seeds)
for 35 years and yes, we know them well.

This is our story.
