From The Ancient Land Of Wheat Comes The

DECORTICATION IS THE FINAL STAGE OF THE CLEANING PROCESS.
IT AIMS TO REMOVE ALL IMPURITIES REMAINING IN THE GRAIN OF WHEAT.

THAT'S WHY WE DON'T LIMIT OURSELVES TO ONE DECORTICATION STEP.

WHAT HAPPENS WITH TRADITIONAL STONE DECORTICATION IN A SINGLE STEP?

  • Single decortication is more aggressive because it must eliminate all residues in one step
  • It overheats the grain of wheat with consequent loss of nutrients
  • The classic stone is more subject to wear, with the risk that the residues affect the semolina used for the pasta

What happens with our double diamond-coated stone decortication?

  • Double decortication does not treat the grain harshly because the steps are repeated gently
  • It prevents overheating, preserving nutrients
  • The diamond bands are stronger, thus preventing the contamination of the semolina

The phases of the alma® method

Alma® Method, from the Latin “Anima”, reaches the soul of the grain of wheat, its purest part.

I. First Cleaning

At this stage, the wheat passes through the different machines that separate the grain from impurities of all kinds in 3 mechanical steps.

Cleaning involves breaking the outermost layer of the grain, 
in order to reach its heart.

II. OPTICAL READER

A high-precision optical reader detects and eliminates any non-compliant micro-impurities and foreign materials by colour, shape and texture.

III. SOAKING

We soak the wheat and let it rest for at least 10 hours to rebalance all nutrients, promote the final stage of methode and facilitate grinding.

iV. Double Decortication
with Diamond-coated Stone

This is the heart of our method.

It eliminates residual impurities by reaching the soul of the wheat grain which gives our pasta a bright colour and intense flavour.

At the Core of The method

The best technology

Thanks to the recent renovation of the durum wheat production line, we can guarantee you the highest standard of processing of raw materials with the best machinery on the market.

Wheat selection and analysis

Our pasta factory has a Research and Development department busy analysing and selecting the world’s best wheats (including Sardinian durum wheat) to meet the envisaged quality parameters.

Fresh vintage wheat

We only mill wheat harvested in the year of production.

This guarantees the freshness of the raw material.

Which is why cellino pasta has one of the highest quality standards in italy, as attested by our certifications
