Melissa Olikis Alesis
Wholegrain Melissa range since 2007: pasta from 100% wholegrain durum wheat flour, plus emmer and carob variants.
Melissa Olikis Alesis ("wholegrain") is the wholegrain range of Melissa Kikizas, introduced in 2007. The pasta is made from 100% wholegrain durum wheat flour, that is from the whole kernel including the bran, so it is a source of dietary fibre.
The range includes spaghetti No 6, spaghettini No 10, linguine, trypita No 5, kofto makaroni, penne rigate, strifto, fiogkaki (bows), medium kritharaki and tortellini with a cheese filling. Since 2016 there has also been penne rigate from 100% wholegrain emmer (dicoccum) flour ground on a stone mill, as well as rigatoni made with wholegrain durum wheat flour and Greek carob flour. Cooking times run from 9–10 minutes for spaghetti to 14–15 minutes for fiogkaki.
