Quality and traceability Riccione Piadina IGP Riminese style
YOUR PIADINA, OUR GUARANTEE
The piadina in your hands has a lot to tell you. This package was produced in our production department in San Giovanni in Marignano, a typical town in Romagna.
It is made according to our historical recipe, a company heritage for over 25 years, a recipe that has been improved over time thanks to the constant search for the best preparation and top-quality ingredients, selected with the utmost care, with an eye to our planet that takes into account the origin of raw materials, respect for those who work, combining taste with the guarantee of the product.
The raw materials that are the most recent important news of Riccione Piadina for an even more conscious choice.
First choice raw materials.
More than Italian: the wheat is only from Romagna
The soft wheat flour, the main ingredient of our piadina, has chain certification. We can finally say that it is Romagna wheat cultivated only in the lands of Romagna (provinces of Rimini, Forlì-Cesena, Ravenna and part of Bologna) by selected farms, which comply with a production specification that certifies the commitment to produce only in certain geographical areas, guaranteeing the precise reporting of all activities carried out. Wheat is stored in dedicated centers where only those from the supply chain are stored.
A heartfelt choice, made to be even safer and to enhance our wheat grown in the typical climate of Romagna, just like the wheat used by our grandmothers. From the ear of wheat, we choose only a small percentage: about 10% becomes, in fact, the flour chosen for our piadins. We choose this small part that is the heart of the wheat, it is the most valuable and allows us to obtain so good and tasty piadina
Few selected ingredients
The water comes from the Ridracoli dam, a local source, in the province of Forlì Cesena. It is crystal clear and rich in mineral salts. Water is the second ingredient in the recipe, fundamental for the aggregation of flour and the formation of gluten. It is by choosing the right amount of water that we obtain the best alchemy to give life to a quality piadina.
We have chosen the best lard, obtained from pigs strictly bred in Italy, so as to maintain a high quality in the final product.
The salt is extracted and processed in Italy. Choosing Italian salt is a further confirmation of how much we believe in our local economies, always safe and guaranteed. Similarly, the raising agents are of Italian origin.

The alchemy we have created
We take care of the dough at every stage
The birth of piadina is magic. The ingredients mix harmoniously, blending in a slow process to form a homogeneous, uniform dough that will then be portioned.
In the initial phase the lower temperature allows the closure of the porosity characteristic of the rolled out dough, then the higher temperature allows the piadina to swell and flake. This method is designed to stabilize the product in the best possible way, keeping the piadina soft, so that it arrives on your table as if it had just been prepared.
