• Molini del Ponte – Ancient Grains Flour

Molini del Ponte is at the forefront of technological investments in milling plants and strongly commit to keeping ancient milling techniques and old traditional Sicilian mills alive. Our pasta is made exclusively with Timilia durum wheat grown by Biogaia, an organic and biodynamic farm based in Salemi (Trapani). Timilia durum wheat is ancient grain cultivated only in Sicily. It is not hybrid, genetically modified or grown using growth retardants and food gamma ray irradiation. Moreover, thanks to the specific climate of the Sicilian countryside and to the good practises of organic farming, ancient Sicilians grains are free from mycotoxins and fungicides residues. The French millstones La Ferté, with which Timilia flour is produced, are made with limestones, known for their high porosity and friction power. The millstones’ porosity is enhanced through the rabbigliatura (redressing), a traditional technique used to keep millstones well-functioning and to obtain a flour rich in bran and germ, which contain the most important organoleptic characteristics of the wheat. Traditional stone grinding mills do not overheat the wheat during the process, thus obtaining a high quality flour.
Furthermore, Timilia durum wheat is rich in folic acid, which helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and of lignans, which are believed to strengthen our immune system. Timilia durum wheat is also more digestible than common wheat, since the protein fraction of the gluten it contains has not been modified throughout time.¹⁰

• Molini De Vita – Italian durum wheat flour and Cappelli wheat

Molini De Vita were founded in an agricultural region, known as the “granary of Italy”, on the hills of Daunia, near the city of Foggia, in Southern Italy. It is here that, thanks to favourable weather conditions and to the quality of the fertile soil, the most world-renowned durum wheat is produced. Cappelli wheat, created in 1900, is the result of interbreeding and has been recently rediscovered for its excellent organoleptic properties. Cappelli wheat is grown exclusively organically.¹¹

• Molino Rachello – Spelt flour

What began as with an ancient mill, is now a modern laboratory with a photovoltaic plant, a hydroelectric turbine and air filtering system. Spelt (Triticum spelta) is an ancient cereal that was grown already back in 4000 B.C. One of its derivate is wheat. Today spelt is appreciated and used because of its high nutrients and proteins content and lower calorie count, as compared to other cereals. Spelt flour used by Albio comes only from Italian organically-grown spelt.¹²
