Timeless Passion
Looking for a contact with the nature, understanding its cycles and its reasons, this means being a miller.
Virginio and Toni
The passion for this art links five generations of the Bertolo family. Small secrets, anecdotes and wisdom have been handed down from father to son and, with the same intensity, the values.
Only a real flour can create real products … this is the challenge of Molino Bertolo.
Virginio and Enrico
The past, forever, teaches us many things and so thinking back to the ancient bread we have resumed to produce flour with the stone mill, obtaining: La Pietra del Piave.
This ancient technique keeps the proteins given by the wheat germs intact. The bread produced keeps its softness longer and has an intense aroma and taste, almost bitter, as the bread of our fathers.
Our Working Process between Tradition and Innovation
The company dedicates numerous resources to the control system of all the processing phases, from warehousing to processing and blending, using the forefront of technology such as sifting machines, magnets, metal detector, electronic traceability and computerized self-control system HACCP, periodic analysis in its own laboratory of the purchased wheats and of all the produced flours. We guarantee the constant control, from a third party, to prevent potential pests.
The Old Mill
1993 was the year of big changes for the company with the purchase of innovative German machineries, Bühler. It modernized the packaging process thanks to the robotic palletization.
The New Mill
In 2009 the first new generation plant with the forefront of machineries was conceived for high quality products. Cleaning, peeling, grinding, packaging, all these activities are performed with the maximum quality control and comply with the hygienic requirements laid down by the existing regulation. A deep knowledge of the raw materials facilitates their accurate and rigorous selection. The flour production meets all the high qualitative standards and the demand coming from different sectors: bakery, pastry, pizza. The plant performs the grinding of different types of wheats, national and foreign, and has a milling capacity of 200 tn/24h.
The Transformation Tower
In 2012 the attention to the environment and the eco-sustainability mindset of the company brought it to invest in the recovery of an old irrigation channel. It has been installed a Banki turbine for the transformation of hydraulic energy into electric energy, this for self-consumption of green energy.
