Ancient Sicilian Semolina for Baked Goods with a Strong Character
From the sun-scorched Sicilian hills, Russello wheat is reborn to offer an ancestral baking experience, characterized by an intense scent of wheat stalks and superior digestibility.
Ingredients Analysis and Taste
- 🌾 Native Ancient Grain: Russello is one of the most prized Sicilian varieties, characterized by its tall, reddish stalks. The whole grain version keeps the noble bran intact, lending toasted notes and a natural savoriness to the palate that reduces the need for added salt.
- 🧑🍳 Traditional Stone Milling: Thanks to low-temperature processing, this flour keeps the wheat germ and essential oils alive. With 14.5% moisture, it ensures optimal shelf life and enzymatic richness that fosters aromatic leavening.
- 💪 Nutritional Excellence: With 13.5g of protein and 8.5g of fiber, this semolina offers a low glycemic index and a higher mineral content than refined industrial flours, supporting intestinal well-being without compromising dough structure.

🍷 The Ambassador of Taste recommends:
Russello is the king of hard-crust bread, but remember that its gluten network is "shorter" and more delicate than that of modern wheat. I suggest not overworking it mechanically: knead slowly and prefer the autolyse technique (flour and water left to rest for 30 minutes before adding yeast). To achieve a crispy, dark crust, typical of Etnean tradition, keep hydration around 65-70% and let the fiber absorb the water gradually.
