Organic Russello Whole Wheat Flour

A 100% organic Russello flour, the result of an entirely Sicilian supply chain that follows the grain from cultivation to milling. Russello is one of Sicily's most iconic ancient grains, recognizable by its tall ears and characteristic reddish color from which it takes its name: an indigenous variety with an unaltered genetic heritage, particularly appreciated for its organoleptic profile and the delicate quality of its gluten. Stone milling preserves the wheat germ, which contains heat-sensitive vitamins, trace elements, and active ingredients that industrial processing tends to destroy. The result is a flour rich in flavor, aromas, and nutrients, perfect for those seeking authenticity and quality in the kitchen.

Russello flour performs at its best with long-fermentation doughs. Use it for homemade sourdough bread, where it develops aromas and a crunchy, deep golden crust, or for pan or Neapolitan-style pizza. For Sicilian focaccias like the Messinese focaccia or the Palermitan sfincione, it is the ideal choice due to its bold flavor. It is excellent for homemade fresh pasta (busiate, cavatelli, Sicilian gnocchetti), for sweet baked goods such as rustic biscuits, whole-wheat tarts, and brioche bread, as well as for shortcrust pastry, piadine, and savory pies. Since it is a whole-wheat flour, it absorbs more liquid than white flours: slightly increase the hydration and extend the rising times.
