Composite flours: versatility, flavour and quality
In today’s food industry, the demand for consistent, tasty and nutritious products is constant. Composite flours emerge as a practical and innovative solution, allowing bakeries, pastry shops and manufacturers to create high-quality products with greater ease and safety.
These flours go beyond a simple mixture of ingredients: they combine wheat, rye, corn, seeds and other carefully selected ingredients, offering guaranteed results and visually appealing, flavourful products.
Composite flours offer a series of benefits for the bakery sector. They help maintain consistency in every batch, facilitate the creation of a wide variety of products — from rustic and artisanal breads to sandwich loaves and pastry items — and add flavour and nutritional value through whole grains, seeds and bran.
These characteristics make them especially valued by professionals who seek to innovate without compromising quality. Thanks to their versatility, they can be applied in rustic and artisanal breads, sandwich loaves and wholegrain breads, industrial bakery products, snacks and pastry, always resulting in products that stand out for their taste, aroma and texture.
