FarrettiVal’s Natural Bakery is a family-run company specialising in spelt-based biscuit baking. Val herself holds the integrity of the mainly-organic ingredients at the core of the company’s output. Alluring flavours of rural Italy such as the delicate Rosemary and Garlic, the robust Tomato and Onion, the subtle Chilli and Chive and the luxurious Porcini Mushroom and Truffle are a genuine breath of fresh air. The essence of Italian ingredients carefully blended with the finest organic British spelt flour; Farretti Biscuits are uniquely delicious. These biscuits are extremely versatile offering a choice of eating options from snacking to pre/post dinner indulgence.

The 4 Flavours in the current range are:

Cep & Truffle

Luxury direct from Mother Earth. The taste of the truffle almost defies description; it is warm and sensual with subtle, shifting flavours. Marry this with the smoothness of the Cep or Porcini mushroom and the authentic flavour of the woodland is yours to savour. Combine Farretti’s organic Italian ingredients with British spelt flour and you have biscuits made in heaven.

Chilli & Chive

Ours isn’t a chilli designed to assault your palate, instead Farretti chilli is enduringly subtle, it infuses a tantalising edge to the slight sourness of the chives and develops a flavour that matures as you savour each bite. Flexible and moreish in the extreme! Combine Farretti’s organic Italian ingredients with British spelt flour and you have biscuits made in heaven.

Garlic & Rosemary

The sweet scent of rosemary conjures up Mediterranean coastlines and seemingly endless sunshine. But the delicate allure of this fragrant herb is carefully and skilfully balanced by the pungency of fat, ripe garlic cloves designed to add a genuine depth of flavour. Combine Farretti’s organic Italian ingredients with British spelt wholemeal flour and you have biscuits made in heaven.

Tomato & Onion

Sun-dried tomatoes are the essential flavour of Italy; imagine warm terraces, fragrant fields and ripe crops amidst lush greenery. Add to this the sweetness of Italian onions for a solid, robust taste that will compliment dips, soups or casual nibbling with a glass of wine. Combine Farretti’s organic Italian ingredients with British spelt flour and you have biscuits made in heaven.

Our four enticing flavours are not only chosen for their taste but for the nutritious balance of their constituent ingredients:

For instance take our two principal ingredients spelt and olive oil; spelt is packed with vitamin B and carries the full spectrum of amino acids and olive oil – at Farretti we use only the very highest quality of
extra-virgin olive oil sourced directly from Italy – is a primary source of omega-9 oil.

  • Tomatoes - one of THE most powerful antioxidants;
  • Garlic – offers great antibiotic properties;
  • Chilli – excellent at enhancing poor circulation;
  • Onions – possess antibacterial and antifungal qualities;
  • Rosemary – a renowned stress reliever and great memory enhancer;
  • Truffles – we’ve heard that (allegedly) truffles are an aphrodisiac . . .
