MOLINO MERANO. ABOUT US. Molino Merano was founded in 1985, but its story began 600 years ago, when the von Berg family started to produce flour varieties in the Bavarian town of Ansbach, Germany. Today, Molino Merano is still a family business that continues to blend an ancient passion for milling with the principles of modern production processes: careful selection of raw materials, advanced technological systems, thorough checks at each stage of the process, utmost attention to customer needs. 2 SOME STAGES OF OUR HISTORY. 3 600 years ago. 1985. Today. Tomorrow. The family von Berg opens its first mill in Ansbach, Baviera. The Molino Merano brand started by producing a small assortment of flours. Continuous extension of the product offer. Products with mother leaven and a pastry line are created. Molino Merano sees itself as a cereal expert at the service of customers tastes and well-being. Molino Merano can indeed offer a wide range of flours and semi-finished products, also in organic and glutenfree quality, the own mother leaven and even - quite obviously - cereals. One of Molino Merano s strengths: being a real cereal expert that is always looking for new products to offer, amongst which ancient grains such as Triticum Dicoccum (medium spelt), the more renowned quinoa or the little known (and exotic) sorghum and teff, without forgetting - of course - wheat, rye, khorasan Kamut wheat, barley, oat, millet, buckwheat, corn, rice, etc. Another one of Molino Merano s strength is the ability to create new products, to offer unusual blends and to be innovative in the flour industry, which has not been very ingenious since ancient times. It is also for this reason that our signature is We grind great ideas.

PRODUCT LINE PRIMUS Semi-finished products for pastry with active mother leaven. 4 IT S CALLED EVA AND IT WAS CONCEIVED IN SOUTH TYROL. IT S MOLINO MERANO S MOTHER LEAVEN.

LEARNING TO KNOW THIS NATURAL TREASURE. The history of mother leaven according to the legend. This product seems to date back to Ancient Egypt, when, after being affected by the flood waters of the Nile River, a load of flour fermented earlier than the others. Instead of being thrown away, this wet flour was mixed to other fresh flours, thus resulting in a tastier and easier to digest product. What had initially been considered as an economic disaster was soon deemed as one of the luckiest events: the creation and birth of mother leaven. Today, Molino Merano has revived this ancient know-how by developing mother leaven in a perfectly controlled environment, in terms of safety, hygiene and temperature since its lab relies on the most advanced systems of analysis. Its mother leaven is thus entirely natural: supplements of exclusively fine flours and pure water are added every day to ensure the internal fermentations of the lactobacilli and yeasts. Using mother leaven in bread and pastry making offers numerous advantages. Since it s a natural enhancer, it supports the proofing of doughs. It improves the flavour of products by enhancing the taste of the flours used and by making them easier to digest. It prolongs the shelf-life of a product by maintaining it softer over time and by protecting it from mould and any degrading bacteria. All mother leaven share these properties. However, Molino Merano s mother leaven offers something more. PRODUCT LINE PRIMUS With active mother leaven for baking products with a long proofing time.
