Lantmännen is an agricultural cooperative founded on the deep knowledge our farmers have aquired over generations. We make farming thrive and work together to take responsibility from field to fork.
From our core farming business, through the value chain, from field to fork, we are involved in every step from sowing to harvesting; to the food on our tables, feed for our livestock and climate –smart biofuels.
Owned by Swedish farmers, Sweden is our base with the Baltic Sea area as our expanded domestic market. We have a strong international presence, and no matter which country and location we operate in, we always take the same responsibility.
We pursue research and invest in innovation for tomorrow’s agriculture, bioenergy and foods of the future. Innovations are crucial if we are to resolve the challenges of today and tomorrow, which is why Lantmännen also has its own research foundation.
You´ll find the Lantmännen sprout on our packaging. The products may be different, but everyone can feel safe that we also minimise impact on climate and people. If you find the sprout on a packet, you can be sure what’s inside is Good Food from Lantmännen.
Our durum pasta is the result of 16 years of trial crops, development and attention to detail by many dedicated and fearless farmers.
Durum wheat has traditionally been grown around the Mediterranean area as it thrives in the warmer climate. However, after several years of trial crops, Lantmännen and Gotland farmers have between them, been able to successfully cultivate fastidious durum wheat on Gotland where it thrives in the chalky soil.
Lantmännen has been running trials of new crops in Swedish fields for many years. Now, thanks to 66 farmers from Gotland, we have finally been able to produce Gotland durum wheat. Durum wheat is a hard wheat with a transparent, glassy looking kernel that, when ground, produces a flour with the optimal structure for pasta.
Along with its good protein quality, the Gotland pasts retains its resilience and chewiness and is easier to cook al dente.
