Details

The Expresso varietal is a cross between Express and Yecora Rojo. We love it as an organic varietal because of its intricate flavor and resistance to diseases and rusts.

Expresso’s wild rustic earthiness makes it a great match for a dark sourdough loaf and is the best option for any baker that only uses organic flours.

Just like Trailblazer, Expresso blends very well with our other flours.

If you are deciding between Trailblazer and Expresso, Expresso is the organic choice. It will also be a bit darker, spicier and more rustic than Trailblazer.

Origin

Organic grains grow better in dryer climates where there’s fewer diseases that may negatively impact the crops. Our Organic Expresso is primarily grown in the rich fertile soil of the Columbia Basin, harvested on land that's primarily dedicated to producing other crops, like onions. Planting grain is a way for the farmers to rest their fields between vegetable harvests and disrupt pests and disease without the need for chemical interventions that can harm the soil.

Baking Tips

Our Organic Expresso has more bran and germ than most flours, so it needs an extra 5% hydration. For every cup of water that your recipe calls for, add an extra tablespoon.

For heartier loaves and more complex flavor, we love to blend Organic Expresso with our other flours at an 80/20 ratio.

Organic Edison: for a lighter loaf with a nutty and buttery flavor
Sequoia: for a softer crust and delicate finish

For any recipes that don’t require a strong flour, including focaccia, flatbreads, or enriched sandwich loaves, we blend Organic Expresso 50/50 with any of our flours.
