AlpinGrain: Our Organic Flours and Grains from the Grisons

In the majestic mountains of the Grisons, within preserved landscapes, a treasure of biodiversity is cultivated: ancient, robust, and authentic cereals. These grains, selected for their resilience and adaptation to mountain agriculture, carry the heritage of a millennia-old agricultural tradition, where knowledge is passed down from generation to generation.

Traditional and Authentic Know-How
The cereals we offer are the result of environmentally friendly farming methods, cultivated in regions where mountain agriculture shapes not only the landscape but also the quality of the products. Unlike modern cereals, often selected for their yield, our grains and flours retain all their nutritional richness, offering superior digestibility and health benefits that have been recognized for centuries.

Mountain Agriculture: A Unique Terroir
The Grisons, with their high altitude and harsh climate, provide a unique setting for cultivating these cereals. Slow maturation under intense sunlight, combined with the pure mountain air, allows the grains to develop an exceptional nutrient content. This agriculture, respectful of biodiversity, also preserves ancient cereal varieties, contributing to a diverse and balanced diet.

Traceability and Local Processing
Traceability is at the heart of our approach: each batch of grain and flour can be traced from the field to your table. The grains are processed locally in traditional mills, where each step is carefully executed to preserve the intrinsic quality of the cereals. The use of stone mills, in particular, helps retain the germ of the grain, ensuring a flour rich in vitamins and minerals while maintaining the integrity of the product.

An Alternative to Modern Cereals
By choosing our flours and grains from the Grisons, you opt for an authentic alternative to modern cereals. Our products, derived from ancient varieties, are naturally more digestible, less allergenic, and offer a rich aromatic palette, ideal for a healthy and varied diet. They reflect an exceptional terroir, where each harvest is a testament to local know-how and product quality.
