Pasta lovers interested in organic quality and fair agriculture will find a large selection of pasta varieties from the brand of the organic farming association Luxembourg (Bio-Bauere-Genossenschaft Lëtzebuerg): BIOG. Among these, you’ll find fresh pasta made from semolina (durum wheat) and egg, such as Ravioli, Tortelli and Tortellini with six gourmet fillings of porcino and black truffles or the classic basil-pesto and tomato-cheese varieties. They come directly from a small pasta factory in Northern Italy.
Likewise, the classic, egg-free semolina pasta “al bronzo”, produced for Spaghetti or Rigati, is made original in Italy for BIOG. “Al bronzo” means that the pasta dough is pressed through traditional bronze moulds. The light texture that the surface of the pasta acquires through this process means that sauces are taken up especially well and thus provides extra taste.
The egg-free varieties are complemented with spelt pasta, produced by a Swabian pasta manufacturer that has been making pasta since 1853.
Last but not least, the Luxembourgish manufacturer Dudel-Magie in Sprinkange makes a variety of pastas made from organic spelt semolina with egg for BIOG, with fantastic names, such as “Hittchen,” Hunnekroun,” or “Rüschli.”
PASTA MEETS TOMATO
The ready-to-cook BIOG pasta sauces are the fitting accompaniment for every pasta lover. The “Zoossen’s” base is made from sun-ripened tomatoes from the organic farming of BIOG’s Spanish partner Cal Valls.
Since 1978, the family Valls produces organic vegetables year-round in Catalonia.
The organic tomatoes are processed, fresh from the harvest, into various sauces. The offer ranges from the “Bio Tomatenzooss Classico” with sea salt, onion, olive oil, basil, parsley, oregano and thyme to the “Bio Tomatenzooss Funghi” and the sharper variety “Bio Tomatenzoos Arrabiata” with paprika and Cayenne pepper. The selection is rounded off with classics, such as organic passata “Bio Tomaten, geschielt” and “Bio Tomaten, agedéckt.”
INDULGENCE WITH GOOD SENSE
The BIOG tomato products signal through the “fair&associative” label that they stem from fair, mutually respecting producers, processors and retailers. Regular, personal meetings of all involved and the mutual interest in the wellbeing of the others builds the basis for such a stable and sustainable cooperation.
The collaboration of BIOG with foreign partners helps to widen the brand offer and to keep the production cost of the Luxembourgish organic products down. Thus, every sold BIOG product – independent of origin – supports BIOG farmers and enables the further development of a sustainable agriculture in Luxembourg.
