The Trani-based company launches Altograno and Karshof taralli, combining research, health and sustainability Altograno® flour and Karshof flour: two innovations that transform the Apulian taralli into a nutritious and sustainable product Trani – Tradition and innovation meet in the new challenge of Tentazioni Pugliesi, an Apulian company specialising in the production of artisan taralli.
Thanks to the careful work of its research and development department, the company has launched two new products that promise to revolutionise the sector: the Altograno taralli, made with Altograno® flour, and the Karshof taralli, obtained from Karshof flour, a vegetable flour derived from agro-industrial artichoke waste.
These new variants respond to the growing demand for healthy and sustainable food, without renouncing the authentic taste of Apulian tradition. With a focus on the quality of raw materials and the use of innovative processes, Tentazioni Pugliesi confirms itself as a benchmark in the food sector, skilfully combining craftsmanship and research.
Taralli Altograno: the durum wheat revolution
The Altograno taralli are born from a perfect fusion of tradition and technology thanks to the use of Altograno flour® , a nutritious and genuine flour obtained exclusively from durum wheat.
Its uniqueness lies in the exclusive processing method called Circular Processing®, which preserves the grain’s most valuable proteins and fibres to the maximum, guaranteeing a healthy, balanced and nutrient-rich product.
What is Circular Processing®?
It is an innovative process that, during milling, selects and preserves the noblest parts of the grain:
• Wheat germ and aleurone, rich in protein and fibre, are carefully separated from the germ oil.
• The essential nutrients are reinserted into the semolina, preserving the authentic taste of durum wheat.
This method results in a flour with a superior nutritional profile, ideal for those seeking a healthy, natural product without compromising on flavour.
The Altograno taralli, therefore, stand out for their lightness and crunchiness, representing a perfect alternative to traditional taralli for those who want a healthy and tasty snack.
Karshof taralli: sustainable innovation with artichoke flour
The other great innovation from Tentazioni Pugliesi is the Karshof taralli, a product that combines wellness and sustainability. Made with Karshof flour, a vegetable flour derived from the agro- industrial waste of artichokes, these taralli represent a true revolution in the sector.
This flour, completely gluten-free, is a concentrate of beneficial properties:
• 60% fibre, useful for intestinal health and digestion.
• 13% protein, for a balanced nutritional intake.
• 6% inulin, a natural prebiotic that promotes intestinal well-being.
In addition to its high nutritional value, Karshof flour is also a rich source of antioxidants, including cynarin, a compound known for its cleansing and protective properties for the liver and intestines. Its low glycemic index makes it an excellent choice for diabetics, while its iron, potassium and vitamin K content makes it an ally for healthy bones, heart and nervous system.
This innovation is a clear example of circular economy, in which waste from the agro-food industry is valorised to create new healthy and sustainable products.
Wellness and sustainability: the mission of Tentazioni Pugliesi
With the Altograno and Karshof taralli, Tentazioni Pugliesi demonstrates that it is possible to innovate while respecting tradition and responding to the needs of an increasingly health- and environment-conscious market.
The search for quality ingredients and the adoption of state-of-the- art production processes allow the Trani-based company to stand out in the sector, offering genuine products that combine taste, nutrition and sustainability.
The company has also embarked on a path to optimise resources and reduce waste, adopting ecofriendly packaging solutions and promoting the use of local raw materials.
