Ancient Grain Maiorca Flour - Molini del Ponte, Castelvetrano, Sicily

Amazing Sicilian flour works incredible for homemade pasta with a great texture. Great value for such a high quality flour.

This is a unique mix of two whole grain flours, an unspecified durum and tumminia. It is used to make the traditional brown bread of Castelvetrano, there are recipes and more information about this online. Tumminia is a semi-wild heirloom wheat that grows well without cultivation. It is mostly under the radar in America, but is gaining traction in southern Italy. It is low gluten, with a soft round flavor, and is especially interesting because of how much water it absorbs and retains. This means that, without going to sourdough, whole grain bread baked with it is more moist, and remains moist longer for the same length proof cycle, than bread made with whole grain khorasan or emmer. This flour also becomes wildly elastic when beaten during the sponge stage, and can handle about 33% einkorn, though this is at the expense of some loft. The company that makes this, Molini del Ponte, is milling really interesting heirloom and traditional Italian wheats. Only a few of them are imported to America at this point, but that site is a gateway to a fascinating tradition.

This flour is exceptional for preparing Italian cookies.

Everything I’ve ordered from Giustiamo has exceeded expectations.

We love Gustiamo generally and this product especially for pasta making and also as an addition to pizza dough for extra bite and crunch (pro hack). Ordering again.

I bought this flour after reading a post in a Celiac disease chat room and it is now my favorite flour. Although not technically gluten free, I can tolerate foods made with this flour without any symptoms! (Note - I have Celiac Disease but I am not allergic to wheat.) It makes delicious breads, pasta, tortillas, pizza dough and more. We have used it as a breading and a thickener for sauces too. I can’t wait to try it in my Pecan Pie Muffins soon. Thanks to this flour I can finally enjoy my favorite foods again and my family can all eat together. I highly recommend it - so worth the price and waiting for! As a bonus, it does ship quickly, is well packaged, and is very high quality. Thank you Molina del Ponte!

Quick delivery, product well packaged and very fresh, great interaction with the company

I have never made pasta dough so well and easily in my life as I have with Molini del Ponte Rimacinata Cuore flour from "gustiamo". It works quickly into a dough with just warm water (2:1 flour to water ratio), and after a 20-minute rest, the dough is ready for whatever pasta type you might want to make. It makes fantastic orecchiette!
