Vigevano Oro di Macina Tramonti
The Vigevano Tramonti flour is definitely a finer flour with a consequently higher price tag. However, we want you to know that we have the same mark-up on all our flours, so if the price seems almost absurdly high, it's the manufacturer's fault. So, you're not going to see any luxury cars in our driveway just because we're selling a lot of this :)
We often use this flour for 50/50 or 30/70 mixtures with other, simpler flours. The results have been very good and flavorful, so even if it costs an extra penny, we think it's worth at least trying. Unfortunately, it's often the case that what tastes really good costs a bit…
The W-number of 330-360 suggests that the flour is intended for indirect doughs like biga, which it is, but we've made nice regular doughs with it. Of all the "biga flours", this one leads to the least "tough" dough when making regular dough. It's good to know that this flour soaks up less water than the standard Caputo Pizzeria: about 1-2% less.
