The Tumminia wheat is an indigenous, hard wheat variety from Sicily and one of the oldest varieties of wheat in Italy. The Tumminia wheat is the main ingredient of the pasta produced by the manufacturer Fastuchera. The wheat grain tells its long history of wheat cultivation on the island - from the ancient times of the plow and the sickle, to the thousand-year selection of wheat by farmers.

From the sixties of the last century the cultivation of Tumminia wheat was considered outdated due to the low yield. In these years there was a risk that the Tumminia wheat variety would fall in oblivion forever. Today, after decades of oblivion, the company Fastuchera has started to grow this wheat variety again to produce a high-quality flour that was greatly appreciated in the past by the Sicilian pasta manufacturers.

To guarantee a high quality product, the wheat is grown in the traditional manner and without the use of chemical fertilizers or herbicides. After the harvest, the wheat is ground in a mill with organic certification with a real millstone into flour. The processing of durum wheat semolina is made in our small workshop using bronze dies. The Tumminia pasta is dried at a low temperature (36°C). The result is a high quality product without genetically modified ingredients and a very high nutritional value.
