Product Details
Why We Created Our Range of Flours, Cereals and Pasta
At Fulmina Food, our mission has always been to reconnect people with real food—food that nourishes both the body and the senses, and that tells the story of its land and culture. This range of flours, cereals, and pasta comes directly from a cooperative of traditional farmers in the Grisons, Switzerland.
Too often today, cereals are industrially grown, heavily processed, and stripped of their nutritional depth and character. We wanted to offer something different—an alternative rooted in tradition, biodiversity, and authenticity.
In the Grisons, high-altitude farming takes place under intense sun and pure alpine air. These conditions slow the growth of the grains, allowing them to develop deeper flavor, greater resilience, and a naturally dense nutritional profile—richer in fiber, minerals, and plant compounds.
Each variety is cultivated with care, processed locally, and fully traceable from field to table. The grains are milled in traditional facilities, and the pasta is crafted from freshly ground alpine flours—each step designed to preserve the full integrity of the cereal. By choosing these ancient grains, you choose a living heritage: products that are more digestible, less refined, and shaped by the terroir that gave them life.
