From today until the end of the Easter period the Colombe Fiasconaro are available in the OIP catalogue. The peculiarity of Fiasconaro is bringing a concept normally associated to the wine world, that is to say the bond with the territory, in the baked products and pastry-making. The use of typical ingredients coming from the surrounding area of Sicily as Pistachio nuts, Oranges, Almonds and Modica Chocolate, makes the panettoni and colombe di pasqua Fiasconaro a true expression of their own land in a pastry-making key. The high quality of the ingredients together with the slow natural leavening process up to three days from starter, make the Fiasconaro Products an absolute high quality reference point in the craft pastry-making.

Bread, if cooked following few and good practices of bread-making, is one of the most satisfying food in all its simplicity. It is fundamental for leavening to take the necessary time for being completed (and not creating a sensation of bloating), in this case it is suggested the starter, which makes the bread more easy to digest due to the activation od enzymatic processes that favorite a pre-digestion. The attention should be focused on the choice of the raw materials too, therefore flour first. Our suggestion is using not to refined flours, obtained through stone milling , a process that, differently for the industrial milling made using mechanic steel rolls, maintains the temperature constant preserving the vitamins and mineral salts content. The ancient wheat flours as Tumminia, Maiorca e Perciasacchi made by our trusted Sicilian producers AdamoBio and Azienda Agricola La Fastuchera guarantee the stone milling and they’re ideal for a rustic bread with a great aromatic structure.
