A barley-like grain from Abruzzo. Farro is emmer, an early form of wheat eaten by the Etruscans and their conquerors, the Roman legion. Giacomo Santoleri grows this ancient wheat on a small farm on the hilly grounds of the Abruzzo countryside. He uses traditional methods and produces his products without the use of pesticides or chemicals. With a flavor somewhere between barley and wheat, farro makes a delicious soup and cold salad. Santoleri's farro is dense and chewy with a pronounced wheaty flavor. It is terrific in farrotto, farro risotto.Our mission at A.G. Ferrari Foods for more than 80 years has been to share our passion for food and wine in the tradition of our Italian-born founder, Annibale Giovanni Ferrari, and his family. Three generations later and over 80 years, we still hold strong to the same mission, La Qualità Non Ha Tempo or Quality Is Timeless.
Our products, which range from artisan olive oils and balsamic vinegars, to rustic pastas and sauces, are carefully selected to represent the quality and diversity of Italy's 20 regions. As the representative of the third generation of Ferraris to guide the family business, Paul Ferrari is committed to maintaining the same standards of excellence that have been our hallmark since 1919.
