Narrative Label
Barley is a cereal that derives from the caryopses of the Hordeum vulgare (of the gramineae family).
This plant has ancient origins and was already grown in the Middle East in the 7th millennium BC. Barley is an annual herbaceous plant that reaches a height of 60-120 cm depending on the variety.
Alce Nero pearl barley is grown only in Italy.
In accordance with organic farming regulations, synthetic chemical products are never used. Instead, organic fertilisers enrich the soul with elements that are useful to the plant. Crop rotation usually follows a pattern of the bubarley, corn, barley.
Barley differs from wheat in that it better adapts to a range of different environments and is a precocious plant, a characteristic that also allows it to grow well in very dry areas with limited water consumption.
The barley grain is harvested over the first ten days of June with the use of a combine harvester.
