The Lucanian area involved is that of the Pollino Park (Chiaromonte, aggrappato, Teana, Fardella and Caldera). In past centuries farmers produced wheat only to pay taxes, and what little was left did not make it possible to meet family needs. For this it was mixed with flours of other grains (oats and barley) and legumes (chickpeas and fava beans or field beans) creating a mixture called mischiglio. today, it is produced by mixing wheat flour of the ancient Carosella variety or the Senatore Cappelli variety, with varying proportions oats, barley, chickpeas and fava beans.
