But also the \u201cmarriage\u201d between the historic local frisella and North African couscous. This is the successful combination devised by <strong>Francesco Cantore<\/strong> who, after three years of research and field testing, gave rise to <strong>Friscous<\/strong>, based on a selection of semolina and durum wheat flours, including flour obtained from Cappelli wheat.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nWheat production is personally overseen by the family-owned farm in the countryside of Ruffano, while the semolina comes from a careful selection guaranteed by trusted Apulian mills. <strong>Sourdough starter<\/strong> and <strong>slow baking<\/strong> in ovens fueled by olive wood and run by local master bakers add further value to this unique and original product. And as if that weren\u2019t enough, enriching the dough is the addition of <strong>turmeric<\/strong>, an antioxidant spice originating from India, with numerous health benefits.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nFriscous in fact boasts a low calorie intake, high digestibility, absence of cholesterol, and purifying and anti-inflammatory properties. Ideal also for vegetarian or vegan diets, the \u201cSalento couscous\u201d offers many different ways to be used in the kitchen. It\u2019s up to you to find the most delicious one\u2014starting with vegetable and seafood salads that enhance its crunchiness. Or sprinkled over soups and stews, or on meat tartare. Placed in a bowl with a few tablespoons of oil and 70\u201380 ml of water, it becomes an ideal stuffing for crustaceans and mollusks, but also the main ingredient of a quick and light dish.\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting from tradition, Francesco Cantoro devised an innovative product with a secret ingredient: turmeric.
