Bioalberti is a family-run farm, active for four generations among the hills of Umbria, in Poggio Aquilone, a medieval village dating back to the 1200s where we grow exclusively with organic methods, and this is where our Split Cicerchia is born
Since 1998 we have grown exclusively according to organic methods, driven by the conviction that healthy eating starts from respected and fertile land. We grow legumes, grains and olives, following sustainable farming practices such as crop rotation and organic fertilisation. We are a young and dynamic company that combines tradition and innovation, thanks also to our collaboration with the University of Agriculture of Perugia. We have an ambitious project: the recovery of ancient and forgotten varieties such as Verna and Gentilrosso wheat, Senatore Cappelli wheat, einkorn spelt, cicerchia, black chickpea and hulled barley. Our desire.
We produce with respect for nature, offering authentic products. Our Split Cicerchia di Poggio Aquilone is a traditional variety grown in Umbria, selected to adapt well to hillside soils and sustainable farming. Being hull-free, it requires no soaking. Tender and creamy, ideal for light and refined dishes. Rich in plant-based proteins, fibre, B vitamins and minerals (iron, potassium, phosphorus) that help regulate cholesterol, blood sugar and intestinal function.
