Solina Italian Heritage Soft Wheat Flour

$13.00

Arteagricola - High-Protein Italian Heritage Wheat, Grown and Milled in Puglia

*Botanically classified as a soft wheat (grano tenero), Solina differs significantly from typical American soft wheat flours and performs as a high-protein bread flour.

Solina is a historic Italian heritage wheat variety traditionally cultivated in central Italy for centuries. Today, this exceptional grain is grown and stone-milled in Puglia under quality-focused cultivation, where climate, soil, and low-yield farming practices contribute to its distinctive character and strength.

Though classified as a soft wheat (grano tenero), Solina stands apart for its naturally high protein content (18.6%) and short fermentation performance—making it well suited for artisan breads, focaccia, direct-dough baking and blending with conventional flours.

This is not a commodity soft wheat flour. It is a heritage Italian grain selected for flavor, structure, and integrity.
