Old mill in Catalonia creates superfood with tech

L’Escairador 
Catalonia (Berga)

Decades ago, a man bought an old stone mill to feed his family with traditional cereals. One day, his daughter had an idea to bring in new technology and turn the mill into a thriving business.

Watch ► We travelled to L’Escairador to meet Josep Costa and Maria and learn more about blat, the superfood white corn that owes its tradition and conservation to Berguedà – a region in Catalonia where it’s still customary to use it in recipes, particularly at Christmas.
