ORGANIC ANCIENT GRAINS

Biodiversity has taken our company to a leading position in Italy, on ancient cereals, thanks to the experimental land situated around the company. Since 2007, we have been growing different plots of land of ancient cereals that will be the subject of subsequent research and development 

Organic flours from ancient cereals

Hence the creation of national projects like “Consemi”, the seed bank of which Antico Molino Rosso is a founding member, which opened on 14 December 2020, witnessed by regional institutions.

And more: “Crescent”, established in 2011 from the collaboration between the N. Strampelli agricultural experimentation and genetics institute and the Veneto Short Chain of Ancient Cereals Association, of which Antico Molino Rosso is a partner and active part.

Organic Flours from Italian Supply Chains

AURORA

Type 2, semi-wholemeal, organic, and stone-ground

AURORA

Type 2, semi-wholemeal, organic, and stone-ground

The combination of seven ancient varieties—brought together right from the sowing stage—gave rise to Aurora (a name synonymous with "Origin"). This flour is the flagship product of Antico Molino Rosso’s experimental field project, where numerous plots of ancient grains have been cultivated on a rotational basis every year since 2007. 

GENTILROSSO

Type 2, semi-wholemeal, organic, and stone-ground

GENTILROSSO

Type 2, semi-wholemeal, organic, and stone-ground

An old soft wheat variety originating in central Tuscany, it was widely cultivated across the country—occupying 70% of available land—from the mid-19th century until 1925, when the agronomist and geneticist Strampelli introduced higher-yielding wheat varieties at the start of the "Battle for Grain."  

CAPPELLI

Type 2, semi-wholemeal, organic, and stone-ground

CAPPELLI

Type 2, semi-wholemeal, organic, and stone-ground

Cappelli wheat takes its name from Senator Raffaele Cappelli—a nobleman who later became famous for introducing the reform that distinguished soft wheat varieties from durum wheat varieties.

Subsequently selected by the agronomist and geneticist Nazareno Strampelli in 1915, it became the most widely cultivated wheat, alongside Gentilrosso.  

TIMILIA

Type 2, semi-wholemeal, organic, and stone-ground

TIMILIA

Type 2, semi-wholemeal, organic, and stone-ground

Timilìa durum wheat is an endangered variety native to central Sicily, known for its highly distinctive aromas and flavors. It has one of the lowest gluten indices.

Organic flours from the CRESCENT supply chain

THE NAME
Crescent It means "crescent moon," a name derived from the Mesopotamian Crescent—the ancient fertile region watered by two major rivers: the Tigris and the Euphrates. This land was the first to provide humanity with early cereal grains, derived from wild plants, approximately 15,000 years ago. 

THE BRAND
The Crescent brand is represented by a grain of wheat sown in the soil that opens outward to form an ear, encapsulating the short organic supply chain of ancient grains.

farina 180 varietà

Type 2, semi-wholemeal, organic, and stone-ground

Farina 180 varietà

Type 2, semi-wholemeal, organic, and stone-ground

Part of the Crescent organic ancient grain short supply chain, this is a blend of ancient soft wheat varieties. It stands out for its uniqueness and originality as a cereal population; the diverse properties contributed by each grain—all grown on the same land—combine to make "Blend 180" a balanced product.

Alicorno Monococco

Type 2, semi-wholemeal, organic, and stone-ground

Alicorno

Type 2, semi-wholemeal, organic, and stone-ground

"Alicorno" is the name given by the supply chain to this variety, which is part of the short organic supply chain for Crescent ancient grains. It is distinguished by its specific properties—particularly a protein content ranging from 16.5% to 18% and high levels of carotenoids.
