Organic Durum Wheat Flour "Perciasacchi"
Organic wheat flour made from ancient Perciasacchi Sicilian wheat, obtained by stone milling, which, due to its low processing temperatures, allows the germ to remain intact, thanks to the low processing temperatures, thus preserving the organoleptic and nutritional characteristics of this prized flour.
This flour is ideal for doughs that require a fast rising time(4-6 hours) with high hydration.
Perciasacchi organic durum wheat flour
This organic Sicilian Perciasacchi durum wheat flour, also known as Farro Lungo (Triticum durum variety melanopus), is a product of the highest quality, cultivated in the fertile lands of Sicily and naturally stone milled by La Fertè. Traditional processing guarantees the preservation of the wheat's nutritional properties and authentic flavour.
Ideal for the preparation of homemade bread and a variety of savoury baked goods, such as pan pizza, focaccia and savoury pies, this flour gives doughs a robust texture and a rich, aromatic taste.
For best results, we recommend the use of our Criscente sourdough starter, which further enriches the dough with its unmistakable flavour profile and improves leavening.
