Durum wheat is by far the most suitable wheat for the production of premium-quality pasta - and therefore tailor-made for Zabler. We use it for our Hochzeit Nudeln as well as for - of strictly controlled organic quality - for our Paradiso Bio pasta.
The big advantage of the durum wheat is the value of the core. Coarse (deliberately not too fine) grinding into durum wheat semolina retains the unique structure of its proteins.
With this the high protein content and the gluten of this hard wheat semolina come into play:
- Starch, which is important for an optimal cooking result and good adhesion of the sauce, remains perfectly bound and hardly floats while cooking
- Pasta retains its shape while cooking and does not stick
- The al dente quality, which ensures perfect pasta with the right cooking time, is guaranteed
This is how BIO quality is retained
By means of strictly monitored selection, storage and processing techniques Zabler ensures that the organic durum wheat used for Paradiso Bio does not come into contact with other durum wheat. The originality and purity which distinguish the organic durum hard wheat semolina in our Paradiso Bio pasta are therefore preserved.
