Origin of the name:
The zone around Capua up to the time of the Romans was called Agro Capuano, subsequently it became Agro Campano and in the end Campania. This was the name given to coastal tirrenica and to the zone of the band. After the unity of the country was passed and there were numerous divisions of the zone, between the Dukedom in Naples, the Dukedom of Benevento, the Principality of Salerno and the Dukedom in Amalfi. With the constitution of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861, the Region brought its name of Campania, but clearly with more wide confinements.

IMEPA FARRO PERLATO NATURAL 1 LB

Farro Perlato is the Italian word for Emmer wheat. It is a wheat grain, actually a kernel that resembles barley.
Like the other grains in the wheat family. Spelt and Kamut, Farro is botanically closer to ancient varieties of grains. Farro is the first known grain in history, loved and appreciated – partly through force of circumstance, since at times it was the only food available - by the ancient Etruscans Egyptians and Romans.
Farro has a high vitamin, mineral and fiber content. It is pleasantly chewy with a distinct sweet wheat taste.
Toast our farro perlato in a heavy saucepan over medium heat until it emits a toasty aroma, about 3 minutes, then bring to a boil in salted water. Cover and simmer over low heat until tender, about 20 minutes.
