Bittarelli, Pearl Barley, Organic, 500g

£6.25

Bittarelli Pearl Barley Organic is a classic Italian pantry staple grown and processed in Umbria using certified organic methods. The grains are gently pearled to reduce cooking time while preserving a pleasant bite and natural nutty sweetness. Ideal for soups, stews and broths, it also shines in salads, oven-baked casseroles and hearty grain bowls. Use it as a wholesome alternative to rice in risotto-style dishes, or combine with roasted vegetables, herbs and extra virgin olive oil for a simple, nourishing meal. Its ability to absorb flavours while retaining structure makes it perfect for batch cooking, meal prep and relaxed sharing boards. Beautifully packaged, it also lends itself to gourmet gift hampers for those who appreciate authentic, rustic Italian ingredients.

Bittarelli: Italian Excellence Beyond Meat – A Legacy of Beans, Grains, and Artisan Craft

 

Rooted in Emilia-Romagna’s Fertile Heartland

Bittarelli is proudly based in Emilia-Romagna, a region celebrated for its rich agricultural tradition and diverse crops. Beyond their renowned cured meats, Bittarelli is equally dedicated to producing premium beans, legumes, grains, and other plant-based products that echo Italy’s culinary heritage. Their connection to the land guarantees authenticity, quality, and a true taste of Italy.

 

Exceptional Ingredients from Trusted Sources

The company selects only the finest beans, pulses, and grains from local and regional growers who share their passion for sustainable agriculture. Each ingredient is chosen for flavour, nutrition, and texture—whether it’s classic borlotti beans, delicate chickpeas, or hearty ancient grains. 

 

A Philosophy of Tradition, Purity and Care

Bittarelli’s ethos centres on preserving traditional cultivation and processing methods while embracing sustainable innovation. They respect natural growing rhythms, ensuring ingredients reach full maturity. Free from unnecessary additives and preservatives, their products reflect a clean, honest approach to food.

 

Artisan Production – Preserving Authentic Flavours

Their artisan production techniques set Bittarelli apart. Beans and grains undergo meticulous cleaning, sorting, and slow drying to retain their natural qualities. This gentle handling enhances flavour, texture, and shelf life, delivering products that inspire authentic Italian cooking.

A Broader Range of Plant-Based Delights

In addition to legumes and grains, Bittarelli offers pulses and preserved vegetables made using traditional methods. From dried beans to ready-to-cook products, each item reflects the same commitment to quality and tradition.

 

Sustainability and Responsibility at the Core

Bittarelli champions sustainable agriculture, working closely with growers to minimise environmental impact and promote biodiversity. Their ethical approach reflects deep respect for the land and community, making every product a reflection of true Italian craftsmanship.

By focusing on exceptional plant-based ingredients alongside their famous charcuterie, Bittarelli delivers a comprehensive expression of Italy’s gastronomic wealth—rooted in tradition, nurtured by nature, and perfected through artisan care.
