Molino Mariani Zeta Monocultivar Sourdough flour 12.5kg - PREORDER

Note: this item is a preorder and is expected to ship in late January.

Uncompromising on quality, Molino Paolo Mariani has been focusing on using solely 100% Italian grains in its flours since its inception in 1905.

Zeta is the result of many years of research by Molino Paolo Mariani, with the ambitious goal to create the ideal flour to feed and maintain a sourdough starter (either liquid, or a pasta madre). Molino Paolo Mariani originally discovered this wheat variety in French and  began cultivating it in Italy, in the Castelli di Jesi hills area in the Marche region. 

This flour is created with a meticulous process, including a full 48-hour water soaking to soften the grain to perfection. The resulting flour is extremely stable, and allows the sourdough to fully express its intense aromas, and achieve a perfect ivory white color. As this is a monocultivar from 100% locally grown wheat, this flour is less susceptible to the natural variations from bag to bag that most other flours are.

Outside of sourdough feeding, Zeta is also ideal for biga, poolish, and for long fermentation processes.
