Spelt Flour

Our spelt flour is produced with spelt harvested on Alvito mountain fields.

Ground in a stone mill and hand sifted, it is an excellent ingredient for bread, pasta, cakes and desserts. Due to its natural grainy texture, it tends not to blend, so we suggest you mix it with 20% plain white flour for optimum results.

Spelt has a very high nutritional value containing all the basic elements which are necessary for healthy human bodies. There may be differences among the different species of spelt due to the land on which it was grown, the season, the cultivation method and the natural fertilizer which was used. It is commonly understood that spelt’s important nutritional value is thanks to its high protein content, fat composition, fibres, vitamins and minerals.

At our restaurant, you can taste several dishes based on spelt and spelt flour.
