Liguori Biodinamica IGP

Liguori Biodinamica IGP is, according to the maker, the first Pasta di Gragnano PGI certified both organic and biodynamic (Demeter). It is made only from biodynamically grown Italian durum wheat.

Biodynamic farming, as Liguori describes it, keeps the soil fertile through crop rotation that follows the phases of the Moon and through home-made biodynamic compost instead of mineral fertiliser. The Demeter certificate is named after Demeter, the Greek goddess of fertility.

Production follows the other ranges: semolina, bronze dies, certified slow drying at low temperature and grain tracking on a blockchain. The protein content is 13%, and the pack is recyclable paper.

Shapes: spaghetti, linguine, penne rigate, mezzi rigatoni and fusilli. It is dry durum wheat pasta for people who choose produce from organic and biodynamic farming, served with tomato sauce, pesto or vegetables.

The range is made by Liguori, a pasta factory on Via dei Pastai in Gragnano whose history goes back to 1795. The company follows its certified "Liguori method": durum wheat from southern Italy, slow kneading with spring water from the Lattari Mountains, bronze dies and slow drying at low temperature.
