IDEAL COMBINATION
Eurostar Commodities has expanded its specialist pizza range with the launch of two premium flours from leading Italian miller Grandi Molini Italiani: Pizza Tipo 1 and Pizza Tipo 2.
Available exclusively from Eurostar Commodities in the UK, the new semi-wholemeal flours have been created for pizza professionals looking to combine reliable dough performance with deeper flavour, enhanced aroma and an authentic rustic character.
Both flours contain 13% protein, producing strong, well-structured dough that remains easy to handle during preparation. They are suitable for professional kitchens, pizzerias, bakeries and food development teams seeking consistent results, while exploring more distinctive artisanal pizza styles.
Grandi Molini Italiani Pizza Tipo 1 is milled from stone-dehulled wheat and enriched with wheat germ, preserving more of the grain’s natural integrity and nutritional qualities. It creates pizzas with a rich aroma, a lightly fragrant flavour and excellent digestibility.
Pizza Tipo 2 retains a greater proportion of the wheat’s outer bran and germ, giving the flour a naturally darker colour, deeper flavour and more pronounced rustic appearance. The resulting pizzas are aromatic, highly digestible and full of character.
Both flours deliver excellent flexibility for professional production. Prepared dough can be stored chilled at 4°C for up to 48 hours, allowing flavour and aroma to develop, without compromising structure or performance.
RESULTS-BASED
The technical development team at Eurostar Commodities is now working extensively with both flours at the company’s newly opened School of Pizza in Brighouse – testing hydration levels, fermentation methods, temperatures and preparation techniques to establish the most effective ways of achieving outstanding results with Tipo 1 and Tipo 2.
Located at Eurostar Commodities’ headquarters, close to the M62 and Brighouse railway station, the School of Pizza is a newly refurbished, purpose-built training and development hub for chefs, hospitality operators, food businesses and product development teams. It provides access to professional equipment, premium ingredients and specialist technical expertise.
The facility offers hands-on professional masterclasses, training workshops and complimentary development space for new and existing Eurostar Commodities customers wishing to test ingredients, trial recipes or develop pizza concepts. Courses range from introductory sessions to advanced technical masterclasses, including specialist gluten-free pizza training.
Pizza Tipo 1 is available in 25kg bags under SKU 4156, while Pizza Tipo 2 is available in 25kg bags under SKU 4163.
