Timilia or Tumminia Whole Wheat Flour 1kg

Saving a Sicilian Heritage: Tumminia

Having survived the standardization of industrial farming, this ancient Sicilian grain is a true miracle of biodiversity. Our Timilia (or Tumminia) whole wheat flour carries with it the resilience of the island's arid summers, resulting in a product with a proud character and unmistakable aroma, crafted for those seeking a bread-making process that benefits both body and soul.

Ingredient Analysis and Taste

• 🌾 Resilience and Nature: Tumminia is a prized variety that naturally resists drought, requiring no agricultural forcing. Stone milling processes the whole grain, ensuring a true whole wheat flour rich in bran and vital germ.
• 🛡️ A Wellness Ally: Thanks to its ancient genetics, it is particularly appreciated for low-gluten diets (attention: not suitable for celiacs). It also offers an excellent protein profile (13.5g) and a high percentage of fiber (8.5g) for high satiety.
• 🍞 The Soul of Black Bread: Its traditional historical use is bread-making, as it is the key ingredient in the famous "Castelvetrano Black Bread," but its modern versatility makes it perfect for handmade pasta shapes with a rough texture.

Product Sheet

🍷 The Ambassador of Taste recommends:

Want to bake bread at home with Timilia? Wait a moment! This flour has a very fragile gluten. If you try to mix it 100% pure, hoping to get large air pockets, you will only end up with a compact "brick" (though a very fragrant one!). My advice for bread-making? Do a "blend": use 30-40% Tumminia flour to provide the rustic flavor and dark color, and mix it with 60-70% strong flour (like a Tipo 1 or re-milled semolina) that will act as the "structure" for leavening. Also, preferably use sourdough and perform long leavening at controlled temperatures.
