Agordino Barley is a traditional variety from the mountain area with interesting organoleptic qualities but with a much lower production yield than the varieties on the market.
The Cooperativa El Tamiso began cultivating this old variety in 2013 from a handful of seeds supplied by the Strampelli Institute in Lonigo.
Older varieties normally have a more developed root system than modern varieties, and are therefore able to absorb water and nutrients deeper into the soil
.
Few people know that among cultivated cereals, barley is by far the most present, since the beginning of agriculture, in almost all the climatic zones of the earth.
Barley, like the other cereals in the El Tamiso line (spelt, millet and wheat) are not cultivated every year by the same farmer, as they are very useful for rotating in the fields between
one vegetable and another.Producers
