The Ancient Sicilian Semolina for Leavened 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 aroma of wheat ears and superior digestibility.
Ingredients and Taste Analysis
- 🌾 Native Ancient Wheat: Russello is one of the most prized Sicilian varieties, characterized by a tall, reddish ear of grain. The whole-wheat version keeps the noble bran intact, giving the palate toasted notes and a natural savoriness 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 a moisture content of 14.5%, it ensures optimal shelf-life and enzymatic richness that promotes aromatic leavening.
- 💪 Nutritional Excellence: With 13.5g of protein and a full 8.5g of fiber, this semolina offers a low glycemic index and a mineral salt content superior to refined industrial flours, supporting intestinal well-being without sacrificing dough structure.

🍷 The Ambassador of Taste recommends:
Russello is the king of hard-dough bread, but remember that its gluten network is "shorter" and more delicate than modern wheats. I suggest not overdoing the mechanical energy: knead slowly and prefer the autolyse technique (flour and water left to rest for 30 minutes before adding yeast). To obtain a crunchy, brown crust typical of the Etna tradition, keep the hydration around 65-70% and let the fiber absorb the water calmly.
