Meet our partners from Russia: Makfa. Today, the brand ranks among the world’s top five leading pasta manufacturers beating out some famous Italian trademarks. The core is the “heart” of wheat grains, the raw material for future pasta from durum wheat varieties. Each ground batch is carefully selected and inspected: its condition, aroma, color, gluten weight percentage, gluten quality, falling number, vitreousness, nature, impurities, and sprouted grains. Soft wheat is the basis of the best baking flour, ensuring a high rise and stable shape. We select strong wheat strains for white flour with optimal springiness and elasticity. They are crucial in pastry and bread baking. Russia boasts more than 50% of the world’s black soil. Buckwheat is grown in the Altai Territory, one of the core granaries of Russia, a favorable region for grain crops. MAKFA’s quality standards embrace two-tier quality control for GMO content.
