Product overview – Petra Maiorca organic flour
The Petra Maiorca Organic Whole Wheat Flour is a rare gem in the Petra collection, produced in limited edition and sourced from the fertile lands of Sicily. Packaged in a 2.5kg bag, it is milled from grano tenero Maiorca, an ancient Sicilian wheat variety cultivated for centuries across the island. This flour is 100% organic and stone-milled to preserve the germ and bran, delivering exceptional nutritional value and authentic flavor.
Maiorca wheat is traditionally known for its light color compared to other whole wheats, giving it a characteristic pale golden hue. Although it is a whole wheat flour, its texture remains fine and soft, making it easier to work with in pizza, bread, and pastries. The flavor profile is delicate yet rustic, with gentle notes of nuttiness and a natural sweetness that distinguish it from conventional modern flours.
Why choose Petra Maiorca
Choosing Petra Maiorca means embracing Sicily’s agricultural heritage in every bake. Because it is a limited edition, you get access to a flour not widely available, making your creations truly special. Its organic certification guarantees purity, while its whole grain structure provides fiber, minerals, and a naturally balanced nutritional profile.
The flour’s moderate strength makes it best suited for medium-fermentation doughs, allowing flexibility in preparation while keeping the final texture light and aromatic. It’s perfect for rustic breads, focaccia, Sicilian-style pizzas, and traditional sweets like biscotti di grano Maiorca.
