Stupinigi flour chain of production
The agricultural organisation Coldiretti, the Chamber of Commerce, and Stupinigi Park have identified, within the Park, the most suitable plots of land to grow traditional varieties of low-gluten wheat, which had not been grown in the area for a long time. Further ancient wheat varieties were recovered through collaboration with the Pollenzo University of Gastronomic Sciences. Five Park farms grow the wheat, which is then stone-ground at Molino Roccati in Candia Canavese. The flour thus produced is sold locally, or used by the Panacea Bakery in Turin to produce sourdough bread. By promoting local agriculture and agricultural tradition, Piedmont's first flour chain of production creates a direct link from Stupinigi land to the consumers' table.
Park farms that grow wheat for the flour chain of production:
- Azienda Agricola F.lli Bertola, Candiolo
- Azienda Agricola Barale Bertola, Candiolo
- Azienda Agricola Michele Piovano, Nichelino
- Azienda Agricola San Martino, Orbassano
- Azienda Agricola Maria Maddalena Siccardi, Nichelino
