Introduction

Re-milled semola (Semola rimacinata) is obtained by further grinding durum wheat semola, resulting in a product that maintains the typical amber-yellow color of its source material but features a finer grain texture.

This refined version is primarily used in bread-making, either on its own or blended with soft wheat flours. The outcome is a golden-hued bread, such as the traditional “pane pugliese”, known for its rich flavor and remarkable shelf life.
