Description
Ardent Mills Primo Mulino Italian Pizza Flour is engineered for exceptional pizza performance in both commercial kitchens and at-home pizza setups. This 20 KG (44 LBS) bag delivers the strength, texture, and workability of classic Italian 00 flour while being proudly milled in Canada. Designed to handle high-hydration doughs and high-temperature baking, it creates light, airy crusts with crisp edges and a tender interior.
Whether you're producing Neapolitan-style pizzas in a wood-fired oven, thin-crust Roman pizzas, Detroit square pies, or classic New York slices, this flour offers excellent gluten development and dough elasticity. It stands up to fermentation, hand stretching, sheeting, or mechanized presses, making it ideal for restaurants, food trucks, pizzerias, caterers, and passionate home bakers.
As part of the Primo Mulino line from Ardent Mills, this flour combines authentic Italian performance with North American milling quality. It fits into grocery, wholesale food supply, restaurant ingredients, and specialty baking categories.
