Carleschi is all about crafting exceptional pasta that blends the best of Italian tradition with the finest British-grown organic grains. We’re proud to be the first British artisan producer of organic dry pasta, driven by our deep connection to Italian heritage and our commitment to sustainability, quality, and authenticity.

Britain offers an abundance of excellent grains, and it felt like a missed opportunity not to have British-made dry pasta. So, in 2012, we set out to change that and create one. It took us years refining our methods until we officially launched Carleschi at Borough Market in 2019. We have since kept expanding our range, regularly adding new shapes and grains.

But our story isn’t about one person—it’s the result of many hands. From the farmers who grow our grains to the millers who stone-grind them, and the artisans who craft each batch, Carleschi is a collective effort of passionate people creating the best British pasta possible.

Spelt (T. aestivum subsp. spelta). Spelt, a hulled wheat, has less gluten than bread wheat and a rich nutty flavor. The earliest evidence of spelt is from 6000 BCE in the Caucasus region and southeastern Europe. Eight hundred years ago, Hildegard de Bingen, a German mystic-botanist-artist, praised spelt’s qualities: “Spelt is the best of grains. It is rich, nourishing and milder than other grain. it produces a strong body and healthy blood to those eat it and makes the spirit light”. Spelt is an excellent source of carbohydrates and dietary fiber. It is particularly rich in iron, magnesium, phosphorous, zinc and niacin (vitamin B3) as well as micronutrients such as calcium and vitamin E.
