Buckwheat and Valchiavenna: a marriage of taste and tradition

In the heart of the enchanting Valchiavenna, where the pure air of the mountains meets the richness of unspoiled nature, a unique culinary tradition was born: pasta with buckwheat. This grain, known for its robust flavor and remarkable nutritional properties, has been cultivated in our mountainous lands for centuries, perfectly adapting to the cool climate and soil conditions.

The buckwheat pasta from the Pastificio di Chiavenna is a tribute to this heritage. Our pasta, made with traditional methods, encapsulates the authentic and genuine taste of a bygone era.

The fusion of buckwheat and the pure water of the Alps creates a pasta that is not just food, but a real culinary experience, capable of bringing the flavors and aromas of Valchiavenna to the table. Its rough texture and ability to absorb dressings make it perfect for a variety of recipes, from the simplest to the most elaborate, always maintaining an inseparable bond with the territory.

Our buckwheat pasta is more than a product: it is a story of passion, dedication, and respect for nature and local traditions. It is an invitation to discover and rediscover the genuine flavors of the land, a bridge between past and present that is expressed in the quality and unmistakable taste of our products.

From the strength of the Mera, the excellence of buckwheat
