Background

Farmers in the Terre Dell’Oasi cooperative use the “Senatore Cappelli” cultivar of durum wheat. This variety of durum wheat flour contains a higher percentage of lipids, amino acids, vitamins and minerals compared to the modern cultivars of wheat. In addition it has a higher tolerability and is easily digestible.

Senatore Cappelli wheat is ideal for organic farming: firstly it does not require the use of herbicides as it can grow up to 150 – 180 cm suffocating weeds and other invasive plant species, and secondly it has not undergone any form of genetic manipulation. These characteristics in addition to its nutritional values have made it a very prestigious and sought variety of wheat.

Terre dell’Oasi durum wheat products include: Spaghetti, Tagliatelle, Fusilli, and Pennette.

Background

Terre dell’Oasi salt is produced in the Saline di Trapani e Paceco nature reserve in Sicily. The site is an important breeding and resting area for migratory birds like the greater flamingo and avocets. The salt is produced traditionally through the evaporation of seawater in dedicated salt evaporation ponds along the coast. Production is carried out in summer, particularly in July and August, and the salt is collected about two to three times a year depending on the climatic conditions. Collection is only done manually.

Unfortunately, salt production by large companies is making it difficult for local salt farmers to remain in the market forcing many to shut their activity in favour of the industrialized products. Terre dell’Oasi is therefore not only about protecting nature but also about giving the local farmers a chance to sell their products, and supporting local traditions.
