Gino Girolomoni – the dream of the mayor, poet and farmer

Gino Girolomoni, the founder’s idea was to restore life to a hill, by growing and transforming wheat into pasta in a single place. That was how Girolomoni farming cooperative started, where production is 100% organic. As the pioneer of organic agriculture in Italy, from growing Italian wheat and making wholemeal pasta, he was able to trigger the rebirth of the entire area. His life is the story of his dream: restoring dignity to the land and to those who protect it, the farmers.

The pasta completes a journey before it reaches your table. It’s good because we know where and how the wheat is grown, Girolomoni mills it and knows every part of it. Then they mix it and dry it intelligently and thoroughly, using the technology brought in, and guided by the principle of always respecting ingredients and nutritional qualities. It is the result of continued dialogue among farmers, millers and pasta makers for bespoke recipes for the pasta.
