Italian Food Importers

When Rolando Ruiz endi moved to San Francisco, it was difficult to find high quality Italian food products in the United States. He knew thetas of genuine Italian foods and wanted Americans to have the same wonderful flavors of Italy. In 1988, he founded Manicaretti (the Italian word for little delicacies or treats) to bring products from Italy's finest regional artisan producers to this country. The regional products were found through family, friends and word of mouth. Whether cooking with a family on their farm or helping friends with the work in their small factory, he feels he is rediscovering these little gems and helping to keep centuries-old traditions alive.

RICE & GRAINS

580208 MORETTI COARSE WHITE POLENTA BRAMATA BIANCA Made from the vitreous white corn, the corn is dried and ground in the same manner as Bramata polenta to a coarse meal. Served both soft and hard, the white polenta is present in almost every restaurant around the lagoon of Venice and around the coast line to Trieste.

580207 COARSE YELLOW POLENTA BRAMATA Carefully selected corn cobs from the Bergamo plains are carefully husked and dried in temperature controlled ovens to ensure an even texture to the resulting polenta. The corn ears are crushed and de-grained, and the kernels are stone ground with the hull and germ, lending more flavor and nutrition to the polenta.

The Lampo polenta is made with Bramata polenta. After milling, the polenta is basically pre-cooked : the flour is steamed at 80 C for a few minutes, then cooled and milled once again in order to obtain a finer meal. Thanks to the steaming process, the polenta retains its aroma and taste as well as its nutritional value.

COARSE YELLOW POLENTA WITH BUCKWHEAT TARAGNA* A typical polenta of the Valtellina and the Alpine valleys north of Brescia and Bergamo, the coarse Bramata polenta is blended with buckwheat flour to produce what in Italy is commonly known as "polenta nera" (black polenta). •••nc•~~'ciil~; •• , •.

580221 WHOLE GRAIN FARRO 580316 WHOLE GRAIN FARRO BULK

The nutritional virtues of farro have long been revered in Italy. Farro is rich in fiber, magnesium and vitamins A, B, C and E. Protein content is also high and when combined with legumes, it forms a complete protein source. The starch it contains is very similar to that of rice and is very low in gluten, making it easily digestible even to some glutensensitive people.

580220 SEMOLINA FLOUR* Moretti's Semolina is made in the family's state-of-the-art modern milling plant in Bergamo where wheat kernels are turned into flour by a process that employs grooved steel rollers. The rollers flake off the bran and germ while the starch (endosperm) is cracked into coarse pieces by the process. Through sifting, these endosperm particles are separated from the bran: this is semolina.Semolina made from durum wheat is yellow in color and high in gluten.
