Molino Poiatti

The wheat used in Molino Poiatti not only comes from selected Sicilian fields, as proudly reported on the packaging, but is treated with care and attention in each processing step. The first, very important step in cleaning the grain is husking. It is an ancient milling technique, which takes place using cylindrical stone discs called moles.

Cleaning of the surface layers

Thanks to these stone discs, the abrasive action and a superficial friction are exerted, removing the bran from the surface layers of the grain of wheat.

Grinding and Sieving

With the controlled use of decortication and with the subsequent steps of grinding and sieving, the separation of the heart of the grain from the germ and bran is obtained.
