At Bonobono, we celebrate brands that embody a rich history and commitment to quality.
La Grande Ruota, a family-run business from Brescia, has been a beacon of milling craftsmanship since 1853. Their dedication to producing exceptional corn flour for polenta reflects a deep-rooted passion for the ancient culinary arts.
A Commitment to Tradition
La Grande Ruota exemplifies the age-old tradition of milling, handed down through generations. Their expertise is evident in every bag of flour, as they seamlessly blend time-honoured methods with modern agricultural practices. This commitment ensures that their products resonate with both nostalgia and contemporary taste.
Sourcing the Best Corn
The heart of La Grande Ruota lies in the Po Valley, where they meticulously select the finest farms for cultivating the corn used in their flours. With the guidance of agronomist technicians, they oversee every step of the production chain, guaranteeing a wholesome and contaminant-free final product. Their internal analysis laboratory ensures that quality remains paramount at all times.
The Art of Stone Grinding
What truly sets La Grande Ruota apart is their dedication to preserving the ancient method of stone grinding. This traditional technique allows them to create genuinely wholemeal flour, preserving the grain's natural flavour, aroma, and nutritional benefits. The slow and careful grinding process, using natural French flint stone, maintains the integrity of the ingredients, producing flour rich in fibre, minerals, B vitamins, and healthy fats.
Innovating with Tradition
While they honour traditional methods, La Grande Ruota also embraces innovation, offering a range of flours that meet modern culinary needs. Their attention to detail ensures that each type of flour, from coarser wholemeal to finer varieties, maintains the nutritional richness and flavour that discerning cooks seek.
At Bonobono, we proudly support La Grande Ruota and their dedication to producing high-quality flours that honour the past while embracing the future. Their commitment to craftsmanship and sustainability aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver premium plant-based products that celebrate the richness of our culinary heritage.
