Organic Gentilrosso grain flour type 2

Description

Organic Gentilrosso ancient grain flour, type 2 or semi-whole flour, derived from the milling of organically grown soft grains from an entirely in-house, certified supply chain.

It is derived from the Gentilrosso ancient grain, a variety of Tuscan origin that was widely used until the early 1900s. It contains a low amount of gluten and a wide range of proteins. This grain gives the products a characteristic reddish hue, hence the name, and is accompanied by a distinctive fragrance and aroma.

Type 2 flour, also called semi-whole flour, is probably the best compromise between the nutritional characteristics of whole grain flour and the fineness and workability of type 1 flour. It retains its nutritional properties, fragrance and taste excellently, and is also perfect on its own for baking with sourdough, pies, pizzas, focaccia…

Slow-rotation stone-ground whole grain flour

Our organic flours are ground by natural stone, thanks to millstones made of granite imported from nearby France, in our slow-turning mill.

As the grains are not heated during milling, our process allows us to maintain all the nutritional characteristics of the resulting flours.

This way we spend more time on the production, but as with all good things produced with love … we take the time to make them in the best way possible.

Sourced from our in-house certified organic supply chain

Our entire organic supply chain is based in the green hills of the Umbrian Apennines, but above all it is an exclusively in-house supply chain.

It means we have full quality control of every stage of production, from sowing to harvesting, from milling to packaging.

This is a further guarantee of the traditional values already inherent to organic farming: no chemical treatments, no improvers or preservatives, respect for the earth, and the safety and wholesomeness of the food produced.
