‘Farro di Monteleone di Spoleto’ emmer wheat is a local ecotype of the Triticum dicoccum species. It is typical of the production area and, through adaptation over time to the area’s climate and soils, has developed the following morphological/physiological characteristics that distinguish it from emmer wheat grown in other geographical areas: spring growth habit; plant height less than 120 cm; degree of tillering: medium; semi-erect growth form at the end of tillering; plants with fine stems and leaves and glaucesence varying from low to medium; small ears, tending to be flat with an off-white colour when fully ripe; glumes adhering closely to the caryopsis; caryopsis characterised by abundant hairs on the apex, pronounced curvature and vitreous fracture; light brown/amber colour, a specific defining characteristic that can be found in all the products even after grinding.
