Organic Einkorn Wheat Crackers

Just one ingredient: organic einkorn wheat

The simplest wheat there is, with a golden color and full flavor

Mulino Val d'Orcia Monococco Farro Crackers

Just one ingredient: organic einkorn wheat. No oil, no yeast, no preservatives, not even salt, which is zero here. Einkorn wheat is the rarest and most precious of the three grains, and it's instantly recognizable in these crackers: the color tends toward golden, more intense than that of other grains, and the flavor is full, warm, with a sweet, buttery note that lingers in the mouth. The crunch is gentle, never overpowering. These are crackers that win over even those who usually find them bland, because here the grain has enough personality to stand alone: ​​a drizzle of oil and they're already a meal.
 
 
 

The roots of this cereal are sunk in fourteen chromosomes

Einkorn is the simplest wheat in existence, even from a genetic standpoint: it has fourteen chromosomes, while durum wheat has twenty-eight and common wheat forty-two. It has remained essentially as it was at the time of its domestication ten thousand years ago, without the subsequent natural crossbreeding that gave rise to modern wheats—which is why it is called the "ancestor" of all wheats. Its ear bears a single grain per spikelet, hence its name, and its yield is so low that for centuries it was grown only where nothing else would grow, in mountainous areas and poor soils. That genetic simplicity, however, has an interesting twist: einkorn is naturally richer in carotenoids—the pigments that give it its golden color—and has a different gluten composition than modern wheats, making it less tenacious and more fragile in baking.
 
 
 

Choosing Monococco Farro Crackers means taking care of yourself

It's salt-free, containing zero grams per 100g, a valuable detail for those looking to reduce their daily sodium intake. It contains 12g of protein, 6,4g of fiber, and 3,6g of fat—slightly higher than other crackers, due to the nature of einkorn, which is among the wheats richest in lipids and carotenoids. A single ingredient on the label means no additives, no added fat, and no surprises. Einkorn is still a wheat and contains gluten: it's not suitable for celiacs.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Einkorn Wheat Crackers

• WITH CHEESES, TO ENHANCE THEIR SWEETNESS: the buttery note of einkorn goes well with dairy products — try them with Organic Pink Pepper Caciotta or with Pecorino with Chilli.
• AS A BASE FOR DELICIOUS CANAPESE: spread them with a thin layer of Organic Artichoke Cream and complete with vegetables or cold cuts, or with a few drops of Biodynamic PGI Balsamic Vinegar of Modena cream for an aperitif that's different from the usual.
• FOR BREAKFAST AND SNACK, WITH YOGURT AND FRUIT: crumble them in the Low-fat Organic Pear Yogurt instead of cereals, or spread them with a thin layer of Organic Orange Honey: the golden color of the einkorn wheat pairs beautifully.

The Producer: Mulino Val d'Orcia

Mulino Val d'Orcia selects and processes organic Italian grains, paying particular attention to the oldest and least productive varieties—einkorn, einkorn, Verna, and Senatore Cappelli—which require more labor but provide flavors that modern grains have lost. These biscuits, like the others in the line, are labeled with just one ingredient.

Food container

Store in a cool, dry place, away from light. After opening, reseal the package tightly or transfer the biscuits to an airtight container: moisture quickly compromises their crispiness. Since einkorn is a grain rich in fat, it's best to consume them by the indicated date and keep them away from heat sources. If they become soft, a few minutes in a hot oven will restore their crispiness.
