Durum wheat semolina flour (Semola de Gran Duro) is milled by Mulino Marino which is one of the very best Italian mills, from selected organic wheat, free of any enhancers or other additives for making fresh or dry pasta, for adding to breads for extra chewiness or for dusting peels and bannetons - or make your whole loaf from it for a delicious loaf. A close approximation to rimacinata flour.
If you are looking to make traditional Italian pasta then you may like try the Sfarinato di Grano Duro, also a Durum flour but much finer. Semolina is great dusted over boiled potatoes just before giving them a shake and tipping them out for roasting.
