Local organic flour for our cooking classes near Rome

The flour we use for our cooking classes near Rome is supplied by a local water mill built in the 18th century, the 'Molino del Cantaro'. This is one of the few mills left in Italy to have the original timber mechanism and grinding stone from 300 years ago, still perfectly working. The flour from this 'mulino' retains all the wheat germ (something industrial flour doesn't have anymore) and comes from organic wheat which is grown by the mill's owner in a nearby field. Even the type of wheat is selected from a range of ancient Italian varieties. Anything that's made with this high quality organic flour, such as fresh pasta, bread, biscotti or cakes, has a lot more flavour and a great texture, just different from anything else.
