Zuppa Ricca Bio

Bioalberti is a family-run farm, active for four generations amid the hills of Umbria, in Poggio Aquilone, a medieval village dating back to the 1200s where we grow exclusively using organic methods: this is where our Zuppa Ricca Bio is born

Zuppa Ricca Bio

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, cereals and olives, following sustainable agricultural 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, the Senatore Cappelli wheat, einkorn (monococcum) farro, cicerchia, black chickpeas and hulled barley. Our wish.

We produce with respect for nature, offering authentic products. Our Zuppa Ricca di Poggio Aquilone. Our preparations are born from a careful selection of our organic legumes grown in Poggio Aquilone, Umbria, and from wholegrain cereals, available whole, hulled, pearled or cracked, to offer healthy, natural and versatile solutions in the kitchen. Each blend is designed to preserve the original nutritional richness and enhance the authentic taste of the raw materials, grown using sustainable methods that respect local biodiversity.

How to cook Zuppa Ricca Bio

 It is prepared by sautéing it with a base of soffritto (aromatic vegetables) and cooking it slowly, adding broth. As variations, you can add aromatic herbs to the soffritto and, at the end of cooking, green leafy vegetables.
