Collection: L'Ultimo Forno

Translates literally to “The Last Oven”, this line of artisan foods is produced by a dedicated, four-family consortium in the Basilicata city of Matera. As evidenced by the trade name, elegant visual aesthetic, and full extraordinary flavor, each product of the L’Ultimo Forno line exemplifies both unparalleled quality and a sense of place. Lucania, the territory in which Matera is located, has long been known as the breadbasket of Italy. The unique flavor and structure of Lucano of Matera bread owes to the character of Lucano Grano Duro wheat, regarded as one of the world’s finest and purest grain cultivators. For thousands of years, this wheat has been cultivated by the same environmentally respectful principles. It is neither genetically modified nor treated by chemicals of any kind. For tens of centuries, Lucano Grano Duro has been milled and transformed into bread and other unique products in Matera, a UNESCO-protected site and one of the ten oldest cities in the world.
