Organic Majorca Whole Wheat Flour

Sicilian Majorca wholemeal soft wheat flour, stone ground

The quintessential Sicilian soft wheat: soft and high in protein, the queen of holiday desserts.

Majorca Flour from the Crisafulli Mill

Molino Crisafulli's Organic Majorca Whole Wheat Flour is made from the Majorca variety, Sicily's quintessential soft wheat. Unlike the island's typical durum wheats, Majorca is one of the very few soft wheat varieties cultivated in Sicily: its grain is soft yet robust and boasts a significant protein content, as well as minerals and vitamins. Stone milling, carried out as in times past, preserves the nutrients and precious wheat germ. This is a vibrant and authentic whole wheat flour, traditionally used for holiday desserts but also ideal for soft bread, the fruit of Molino Crisafulli's short and organic supply chain, which grows its own wheat directly in the heart of Sicily.
 
 
 

The roots of this grain are deep in the Sicilian confectionery tradition

Majorca holds a special place in Sicilian rural and gastronomic tradition, being one of the very rare varieties of soft wheat that the island, a land of durum wheat par excellence, has managed to embrace. Precisely because of its unique characteristics, Majorca flour was traditionally reserved for special occasions: it was used to make biscuits and holiday desserts, moments of joy and sharing in Sicilian families. Its delicate gluten structure and soft texture made it perfect for sweet preparations that required lightness and softness. Like many ancient grains, it was later abandoned in favor of modern varieties, and today it is finally being rediscovered. Molino Crisafulli, custodian of ancient grains, grows it organically in the heart of the Calatino area, preserving all its authenticity through stone grinding.
 
 
 

Choosing Majorca Flour means taking care of yourself

Ancient grains like Majorca are now being re-evaluated as valuable allies for health. Compared to modern soft wheats, Majorca boasts a significant protein content and a simpler, less tenacious gluten network, making preparations lighter and more digestible. The slow, low-temperature stone milling preserves the wheat germ with its valuable proteins and enzymes, as well as vitamins, minerals, and fiber, abundantly present in whole wheat flour thanks to the preservation of the bran. Fiber promotes intestinal health and a good feeling of satiety. Being organic and pesticide-free, it is a pure and natural flour. A genuine and versatile food, ideal for bringing healthy, authentic-flavored desserts and breads to the table. Contains GLUTEN.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Majorca Whole Wheat Flour

• FOR DEEP-FISH BISCUITS AND HOLIDAY SWEETS — It's its traditional vocation. Try the Majorcan biscuits for dipping: mix 650 g of flour with 2 Fresh organic eggs, 180 g of organic butter, 100 g of milk, 200 g of sugar and a sachet of yeast, flavouring with vanilla, honey or the grated rind of a Organic Sicilian Interdonato Lemon.
• FOR SOFT TARTS AND CAKES — Its softness is perfect for home baking. Use it for cakes, plum cakes, and tarts, perhaps filled with a organic strawberry compote, for genuine desserts with a great nutritional value.
• FOR SOFT BREAD AND YEASTED PRODUCTS — Its structure also makes it ideal for bread making. Use it alone or mixed with other more rustic flours to make particularly soft and light bread, or for brioche and delicate baked goods.
