FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between Semola and Semola Rimacinata? Semola Rimacinata is reground, meaning it is much finer than coarse semolina. This makes it easier to incorporate into doughs while still providing the strength of durum wheat.

Can I make pasta using only this flour? Yes, many southern Italian pasta shapes are made using only semolina and water, resulting in a firm, chewy texture that pairs perfectly with hearty sauces.

Why should I use this for dusting my pizza peel? Because semolina is coarser than white flour, it acts like tiny ball bearings under the dough, allowing it to slide off the peel effortlessly without burning or becoming bitter.

Is this flour good for bread? Absolutely. Adding 10-20% semolina to your bread flour increases the nutritional profile and gives the crust a beautiful, sandy crunch.

Is this product suitable for vegan recipes? Yes, it is a 100% plant-based wheat product, perfect for vegan pasta and bread recipes.

How should I store a 5 kg bag? Keep it in a cool, dark pantry. If you live in a humid environment, we recommend transferring it to a sealed food-grade container to prevent clumping.
