Several years ago, Giacomo Santoleri left his
homeland of Rome and headed for the mountainous
terrain of Abruzzi with the intention of producing
the best beans and grains in Italy. Using organic
farming techniques and producing only small quantities,
there's no question this meticulous farmer has met his
goal. Bucking the trend toward industrialized agriculture,
Santoleri personally oversees every aspect of production,
from seeding to packaging. And the result is an exceptional
line of organic grain that has won the praise of chefs
all over Italy.
