Timilia or Tumminia Whole Wheat Flour 5kg

Saving a Sicilian Heritage: Tumminia

Having survived the standardization of industrial farming, this ancient Sicilian grain is a true miracle of biodiversity. Timilia (or Tumminia) Whole Wheat Flour carries the resilience of the island's arid summers, delivering a product with a proud character and unmistakable aroma, designed for those seeking bread-making that is good for both body and spirit.

Ingredients and Flavor Analysis

• 🌾 Resilience and Nature: Tumminia is a prized variety that naturally resists drought, requiring no forced agricultural methods. Stone milling processes the entire grain, ensuring a true whole wheat flour rich in bran and vital germ.
• 🛡️ 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 primary use is bread-making, as it is the star ingredient of the famous "Castelvetrano Black Bread," but its modern versatility also makes it perfect for artisanal pasta shapes with a rough texture.

Product Sheet

🍷 The Flavor Ambassador recommends:

Do you want to bake bread at home with Timilia? Stop for a moment! This flour has very fragile gluten. If you try to use 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 blend it with 60-70% strong flour (like a Type 1 or re-milled semolina) which will act as a "structure" for leavening. Also, preferably use sourdough starter and perform long fermentations at a controlled temperature.
