From Ancient Rome to Our Plate

Pinsa typically has a flat, oval shape and is a traditional Italian recipe whose roots delve deep into history. Its name derives from the Latin word "pinsere," essentially describing the process of pressing downwards with force. It's a clear reference to the dough process, to make it flat and reminiscent of the familiar pizza. According to tradition, ancient Romans prepared Pinsa as an offering to the gods. Pinsa held a special place in ancient Rome, and rightfully so, as it is a particularly nutritious and incredibly flavorful product.

The Healthy Choice

The art of making Pinsa dough resembles a ritual. The dough usually consists of a mixture of flours, which matures for 48 to 72 hours. One can add aromatic herbs for an even more intense flavor. Precisely because it has a high-water content - reaching up to 80% - Pinsa is extremely digestible.

Some of the characteristics that make it a highly healthy choice:

• Lower cholesterol

• No saturated fats

• No sugar

• Less gluten

• Fewer carbohydrates

A Journey of Flavors

The Pinsa fermentation process leads to an incredibly crispy, delectable, and airy dough. During the pressing process, the aromas and flavors are retained within the dough, which acquires an elastic texture.

Having a dough that is extremely light and intensely flavorful, the choices in toppings are literally countless. There are no limits to flavor combinations with Pinsa. We can customize Pinsa to our own tastes, adding our favorite ingredients. Thus, we enjoy a lighter and healthier version of the beloved pizza, with a crispy and incredibly tasty crust. Ideal for vegetarians and vegans, Pinsa is sure to delight even the most discerning palates.
