Organic Wholemeal Flour of Ancient Gentilrosso Wheat - Capoccia Bio
Naturally stone-ground flour
Available in 1 kg and 5 kg packages
Capoccia Bio's roots trace back to the early 1900s when Cesare Capoccia moved to Morano Osteria, a hamlet of Gualdo Tadino, to passionately cultivate the fertile Umbrian land. Since then, the company has grown with the family, passing down through generations while keeping the agricultural tradition of the region alive.
Today, the company has embraced organic methods, recovering ancient local crops that represent a valuable heritage. Capoccia Bio follows a complete and integrated production cycle.
The story of Capoccia Bio's organic soft wheat flours is simple and authentic. The grains are cultivated in the Umbrian fields, milled stone-ground in their slow-turning mill, and packaged in a unique and controlled supply chain. This process preserves all the aromas, flavors, and fragrances of the grains, whether modern or ancient, like Gentilrosso. Additionally, stone milling maintains the biodiversity and nutritional characteristics of the wheat.
These 100% Italian flours are versatile and suitable for a variety of doughs: bread, focaccia, biscuits, tarts, pizza, and flatbreads.
Capoccia Bio also uses them for their sourdough starter, ensuring genuine and flavorful products.
Between the Umbrian land and the consumer's table, there are no intermediaries: only healthy, sustainable, and authentic products.
Capoccia Bio is committed to bringing the best of Italian food tradition to customers' tables, maintaining the connection between the field and the plate.
Compared to type 1 and 2 flours, whole wheat flour better preserves all parts of the grain: starch, bran, and germ, making it the most complete; it is obtained from the milling of soft wheat grown through organic farming using a fully internal and certified supply chain. This flour comes from the ancient Gentil Rosso wheat, a Tuscan variety widely used until the early 1900s, and it contains a low amount of gluten and a wide range of proteins.
It excellently retains nutritional properties, aroma, and flavor, making it perfect on its own for baking with sourdough, as well as for tarts, pizzas, and focaccia.
