Company
The final quality of pizza, bread and all yeast-based cakes is wholly bound up with the particular characteristics of the wheat used. It is for this reason that Dallagiovanna staff personally pays a weekly visit to the most important Italian cereals markets to pick the best local and foreign grains.
The
quality of the grain is first checked visually, but this is not the
only examination. The technologically advanced laboratory inspects all
the batches analysing not just the chemical/physical quality, but also
the particular characteristics of each individual flour.
The care given to the production process also continues during storage, where sophisticated silos prevent the temperature of the grain from rising, as it would otherwise start to smell. The grain is then carefully washed and the "well washed grain is half-ground".
The
grain is then rested for a length of time calibrated according to
individual variety, to allow the humidity to soften the kernels. It is
then ground very carefully and not just pulverised. Indeed,
overheating the flour could damage the starch and protein,
indispensable for maintaining the high quality of the final product. It
is for this reason that the mill’s equipment is designed to work at low
speed and with an innovative control room to constantly monitor the
production process.
The individual types of flour thus obtained are then mixed by highly skilled and trained technicians supervised by master pastry cooks and expert bakers, all so as to give you a superior, balanced and consistent product.
