Perciasacchi's Organic Semi-Wholemeal Durum Wheat Flour Arcadipane

Perciasacchi Organic Semi-Whole Wheat Flour is the result of an ancient Sicilian milling tradition: obtained by artisanally grinding 100% Perciasacchi wheat, a native, organically grown variety of the island, this flour retains much of the bran and germ, essential elements for a rich nutritional profile and unmistakable flavor. Amber in color, with a subtle rustic note, it is an extremely versatile flour, ideal for all types of preparation: homemade pasta, naturally leavened bread, crispy pizza, and bold desserts. An ingredient that embodies centuries of Sicilian history and the authentic flavor of ancient grains.
 
 
 

The roots of this flour are deep in the history of Sicilian cereal production.

Perciasacchi is one of the oldest Sicilian durum wheats, cultivated on the island since pre-Hellenic times. Its curious name, meaning "sack-hole" in Sicilian, derives from the sharp shape of its kernel, capable of literally piercing the jute sacks once used for transport. Similar to Khorasan (known commercially as Kamut®), Perciasacchi represents a genetic heritage of extraordinary value, a testament to Sicily's age-old cereal-growing tradition. During the 20th century, it risked extinction due to the advent of more productive modern varieties, but thanks to the dedicated work of custodian farmers and artisan millers, it is now enjoying a well-deserved renaissance, a symbol of the biodiversity and quality of Southern Italy's raw materials.
 
 
 

Choosing Perciasacchi Semi-Wholemeal Flour means taking care of yourself

Perciasacchi semi-whole wheat flour offers a decidedly superior nutritional profile compared to modern wheat flours: it retains much of the bran and germ, providing a valuable dose of dietary fiber (3,76g per 100g), minerals such as selenium, zinc, and magnesium, B vitamins, and natural antioxidants. The gluten structure of Perciasacchi is more fragile and less tenacious than that of highly selected grains, making it generally more digestible and better tolerated, even by those with non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Its low sugar (2,09g) and salt (0,006g) content make it a balanced choice for those seeking a conscious diet, while certified organic cultivation guarantees the complete absence of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.
