Small Spelt of Velay

In a sustainable and reasoned agriculture approach and to highlight this rustic cereal that has never undergone genetic modification, Sabarot has established a sector that supports over 300 partner farmers to preserve their ancestral know-how and assist them daily. The Petit Épeautre du Velay is cultivated by farmers in the Puy-en-Velay basin (Haute-Loire). It grows in the same terroir as the Puy Green Lentil A.O.P.: the volcanic soil of the high plateaus of Velay, at over 800 meters altitude, which gives the grain a firm shell rich in nutrients.

The Petit Épeautre du Velay has a slight hazelnut taste that appeals to both young and old. It is said to have "crunch": both crunchy and tender, it holds in the mouth. This consistency gives it a true uniqueness and refinement, allowing it to stand out from other cereals.

It can ideally replace rice, wheat, and barley in many hot and cold preparations. Find all our recipe ideas with Petit Épeautre du Velay here.
