Perfect pizza from the base up

A great pizza base should be thin and crusty in the middle, chewy but not rubbery, with just the right amount of puff on the edges that get charred in some spots in the oven’

IN ITALY, FLOUR is categorised according to how finely it is milled. ‘00’ is the finest you can get – almost the texture of corn flour - and is perfect for making fresh pizza bases and pastas in the true Italian tradition. Modelled and designed to replace the imported ‘00’ flour at a competitive price with steady availability, Millstone Farina ‘00’ Wheat Flour has great consistency and development and a strong gluten network that develops nicely.

Traditional stone milling ensures the integrity, quality, flavour and nutritional value of flour. The whole grain is ground in a single pass between two round millstones, to retain and integrate the wheatgerm oil. Nothing is taken away or added, leaving us with a natural balance of starch, protein, vitamins and fibre. Nutritious wheatgerm, the life force of the grain, cannot be separated out in stone grinding and gives the flour a characteristic nutty, slightly sweet flavour.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

The Millstone story began in the year 2000, when two brothers and their best friend bumped into an acquaintance that was importing milling equipment into South Africa. He shared his passion for milling with the trio, sparking an interest that would grow into the thriving Millstone operation.

At the heart of its offering, is its superb stone ground flour. It’s where the company started and it’s why bakers keep coming back. Millstone brings you the finest stone ground artisan flour, with sought after sweeter, nuttier flavour and coarser texture. Millstone uses only the best local and internationally sourced wheat, which is then milled with age-old, slow and gentle methods, using Italian and Danish milling equipment.

Millstone is Halaal and Kosher certified, health and safety accredited and has full traceability of its product so you can rest assured the contents of Millstone bags have been made with love, care, friendship and family – all you need to create something special. Whether you’re crafting loaves of freshly baked sourdough or rye bread or creating indulgent pizzas and pastas, Millstone’s quality speciality flours deliver faultless results, time after time. So make sure you’re stocked up on the full range to take your establishment to the next level.
