Hemp, Caper and Olive Croquettes Monastery

Monastero's Organic Hemp, Caper, and Olive Croquettes are a masterpiece of plant-based gastronomy that reinvents Mediterranean cuisine through the innovative use of edible hemp. Each croquette contains a generous 56,62% Hemp-fu—a "hemp tofu" made from organic hulled hemp seeds, water, and natural nigari—enriched with 5,93% organic green olives and 3,52% organic capers, which lend that unmistakable Mediterranean flavor. Pearled barley and sourdough breadcrumbs ensure a fragrant, golden coating, while aromatic herbs—organic marjoram, basil, and oregano—complete a full, enveloping flavor profile. This artisanal product perfectly embodies the intersection of agricultural biodiversity, short supply chains, and plant-based innovation.
 
 
 

The roots of these Hemp Croquettes are deep in tradition

Edible hemp is one of humanity's oldest crops: cultivated in Italy for over two millennia, it has nourished generations of farmers, providing complete proteins in times when meat was a rare commodity. Banned for decades due to regulatory misunderstandings, organic hemp is now experiencing a remarkable revival in Italy's virtuous supply chains. Olives and capers, meanwhile, tell the story of the Mediterranean itself: the olive, a symbol of peace since the days of classical Greece, and the caper, a wildflower that grows spontaneously among the sun-drenched walls of the Tyrrhenian islands, speak of an ancestral bond between man and nature. Monastero unites these traditions in a contemporary product that honors the past while looking to the future of plant-based nutrition.
 
 
 

Choosing Hemp, Caper and Olive Croquettes means taking care of yourself

These kibbles are a true plant-based superfood. Dietary hemp contains all nine essential amino acids—a rarity among plant-based proteins—providing a whopping 17,4 g of complete protein per 100 g, comparable to that of meat. It's also rich in omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids in the perfect 1:3 ratio, essential for cardiovascular and brain health. Olives provide protective monounsaturated fats and antioxidant polyphenols, while capers are rich in rutin and quercetin, flavonoids with anti-inflammatory properties. With 4 g of fiber per serving and just 236 kcal, these kibbles are ideal for athletes, vegans, vegetarians, and anyone who wants to combine full-bodied flavor and daily well-being in a single bite.
