mill
In 1985, this experience evolved with the birth of our Mill, founded by Luigi Caputo, with the goal of bringing the same attention and experience gained over the years to flour production.

the third generation
“It was 1939 when our grandmother Angelina started producing bread for the people of her village, thus beginning to preserve the sourdough starter.”
the story of molino madre
This is where our bases are born: products designed for the professional world, the result of the encounter between raw materials, experience, craftsmanship, and innovation.
A story that continues to grow, without losing its roots.
Our Vision
Our Experience
From dough to table: we are the first Italian mill that supports you every step of the process.
We select and process the best raw materials to offer high-performance flours and mixes, designed for chefs, pizzaiolos, bakers, and pastry chefs looking for consistent, ready-to-use, high-performing doughs.
what sets us apart
OUR STRENGTHS
All our products are hand-stretched and 70% par-baked in a wood-fired oven with a stone base. The cold chain as a natural preservative eliminates any chemical additives.
01
ancient recipe
The taste comes from the ancient Italian recipe with sourdough starter and a special mix of flours, including Type 1 with wheat germ.
02
HAND-CRAFTED
Each product is hand-stretched by our artisans, so the edges are irregular just like in real Italian pizzerias. The human factor is irreplaceable in obtaining a perfect dough.

DIGESTIBLE DOUGHS
In addition to the use of sourdough starter, our products have a 24-hour leavening period that makes the dough digestible and gives it an authentic taste.

CONSISTENT FLOURS
Molino Madre’s Brand Ambassadors are the beating heart of the Mill. They are the ones who carry forward every day what we believe in: respect for the raw material, love for the art of baking, and tradition that looks to the future. In every dough, in every gesture, there is the same passion that has animated our mill for generations.
“Quality is felt in the dough.”
