We safeguard biodiversity, ancient grains, and knowledge: we turn them into innovation.

With timeless roots, we cultivate a sustainable future together.

The breath that never stopped.

“U vagnone” – our sourdough starter, alive since 1970.

It is the heart of everything we do. Born in 1970 and kept alive every day, “U vagnone” is our living sourdough starter: a biodiversity that grows, breathes, and gives life to every Petramarè dough.
For over fifty years it has lived on hands, flour, and the air of Salento.

When fine dining feels like home

Friscous® is born from the breath of *u vagnone*, our sourdough starter carefully preserved. Thirty-six hours of slow drying and then, in the time of a breath, it becomes yours: no cooking, no waiting.

This is where fine dining enters every home.

Golden grains that know how to transform
Crunchy like a frisella or soft like Mediterranean couscous. The only limit is your imagination: a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a sun-ripened tomato, a mint leaf. And suddenly the dish speaks like it does in a restaurant—but with your voice.

30 seconds. Zero waiting. All the flavor
No hours at the stove are needed: just real ingredients and the time of a breath. In 30–60 seconds you have a base that embraces flavors, aromas, and seasons. It’s a grammar of taste that anyone can speak—those who have been cooking for a lifetime and those just starting out.

Truth in every grain
Right portions, zero waste: you use what you need, the rest waits for tomorrow. Behind every grain: ancient Senatore Cappelli wheat, slow drying, hands that every day nourish the life of the sourdough starter.

Origin and truth from our land to your table. Friscous® brings fine dining where it truly matters: to your home, within everyone’s reach.
