Baguette 

Organic Piedmontese semi-whole wheat flour and sourdough starter

The iconic French crunchiness meets the rustic soul of Italian grains

The Baguette of Triticum

The Triticum Baguette demonstrates how baking can transcend geographical boundaries, combining French technique with the excellence of Italian ingredients. Made with Piedmontese semi-whole wheat flour and live sourdough, this baguette stands out for its golden, crispy crust enclosing a soft, fragrant, honeycombed crumb. This is no ordinary, flavorless white bread: the use of semi-whole wheat flour gives it an amber color and a more complex flavor, rich with toasted grain nuances.

The secret to its lightness lies in the long natural leavening process, expertly managed by baker Matteo Valentini. This slow process allows the aromas to fully develop and the bread's structure to form impeccably, ensuring that texture that crunches at the first bite and melts in the mouth afterward.

Perfect in its simplicity, the Triticum Baguette is versatile and refined. Whether broken by hand to accompany a meal or carefully sliced ​​to create gourmet canapés, it brings to the table the elegance of a great classic reinterpreted with ethics and artisanal passion.
 
 
 

The roots of this product are deep in tradition

The baguette is the undisputed symbol of French breadmaking, officially born in the 19th century but now a global icon for its convenience and deliciousness. Triticum inherits its technical heritage—the hand-shaping, the oblique cuts on the surface—but revolutionizes its ingredients.

Abandoning the ultra-refined 00 flours typical of industrial production, we opted for a carefully ground, semi-wholemeal Piedmontese wheat. This return to a less refined flour restores the authentic flavor of the wheat once eaten in our countryside, creating a bridge between Parisian refinement and the authenticity of the Italian soil.
 
 
 

Choosing Baguette means taking care of yourself

Compared to the classic white baguette, this semi-whole wheat version offers a significantly superior nutritional profile. The presence of part of the bran and wheat germ ensures a higher fiber content, essential for slowing the absorption of sugars and promoting satiety.

The real added value, however, is the sourdough starter. Lactic fermentation not only pre-digests gluten, making the bread lighter on the stomach, but also lowers the product's overall glycemic index. Furthermore, the absence of additives, improvers, or added fats makes it a clean, healthy, and balanced product, suitable for the whole family.
