Matteo Valentini's art of breadmaking: long leavening and organic Italian flours in the heart of Rome.
A living material that changes following the rhythm of the earth and the mills: each loaf is unique, never the same.
From the home kitchen to the laboratory: the story of Triticum
It all began in 2020, while the world stood still. Within the confines of his home, Matteo Valentini—born in 1994—began kneading dough to pass the time, but what began as a pastime quickly transformed into a mission: to rediscover the soul of the grain of wheat. Through a small website and the first home deliveries, his bread immediately won over Roman palates: the long leavening times, the obsessive search for raw materials, and the almost obsessive care for each loaf quickly transformed his kitchen into a true artisanal micro-workshop. It's proof that excellence can emerge from crises: all it takes is flour, water, time, and a visceral passion.
The raw material: a journey through Italy's mills
Triticum's secret lies in its selection: exclusively the finest Italian organic flours, from grains grown without synthetic chemicals. But there's more: Matteo works with a constant rotation of flours sourced from small, diverse mills, hand-picked for their uniqueness and production quality. Each loaf thus becomes a one-of-a-kind creation, a reflection of the mill and the current harvest: "Triticum bread is never the same," says Matteo, "it's a living substance that changes with the rhythm of the earth and the mills." A philosophy that celebrates Italy's grain biodiversity, one batch at a time.
An excellence in the heart of Rome
Today, Triticum is based in the Ponte Marconi workshop in Rome and has become a benchmark for quality dining in the capital. Critics and colleagues consider him one of the brightest prospects in Roman baking—some are openly talking about the city's next star—yet Matteo maintains the same tailored approach as his early days: small batches, meticulous care, a short supply chain, and a direct connection between those who grow the wheat and those who transform it into art. Because his rapid rise hasn't changed the essence: every day, Matteo continues to gift us his art, one bite at a time.
Why Choose Triticum
Choosing Triticum means bringing home a selection of organic grains grown exclusively without synthetic chemicals, the biodiversity of small, ever-changing Italian mills, and a short supply chain that directly links those who grow the grain to those who transform it into art.
