What is Petit Épeautre du Velay and where is it grown?
The Petit Épeautre du Velay is a hulled cereal from a grass known as "dressed," which means it is hulled before consumption. Its tender grain requires a very delicate hulling process before being consumed like rice.
Petit Épeautre du Velay is grown in the Velay region, in Haute-Loire, Auvergne, at over 800m altitude on volcanic soil. This vigorous cereal adapts very well to dry and poor lands and thus does not require fertilizers or disease treatments.
