THE IL MOLINO CAFÉ IS LOCATED IN THE HEART OF OUR PRODUCTION MILL AND ALSO BOASTS A LARGE, DELIGHTFULLY FURNISHED GARDEN TO SPEND SUMPTUOUSLY RELAXING MOMENTS. IT IS WHERE YOU CAN TASTE SWEET AND SAVORY BAKED GOODS, PASTRIES AND EVERYTHING THAT WE CREATE AND PRODUCE EVERY DAY IN OUR LABORATORY. THE FLOURS USED ARE PRODUCED WITH THE COMPANY’S STONE MILL AND COME FROM OUR ORGANICALLY GROWN GRAINS.
BAKERY
Each and every day, we bake loaves of bread in a variety of flavors, pizzas, baguettes, savory pastries, and many other delights. Everything is handmade, with selected ingredients to enjoy right at our tables or to take home to enrich your meals with unique tastes. We believe in the goodness of working the prime ingredients artisinally, making each bite a journey through time, a sensory experience that will transport you to a world of authentic and genuine flavors.
NATURALLY FERMENTED SOURDOUGH BREAD
Our secret lies in the long, slow rising process, which allows the bread to develop a unique flavor, a crunchy crust and a honeycombed crumb, with a fragrance that will win you over from the first bite. Every part of the breadmaking is carefully done by hand. Our sourdough starter is lovingly nurtured every day, creating the perfect environment for slow, natural fermentation. This artisanal process ensures high quality, healthy and easily digestible bread. We experiment with the seasonality of our garden by adding ingredients such as pumpkin, spinach, potatoes, and beet into the doughs of some of the breads, and combine them with different kinds of seeds and charcoal. We believe in respecting nature and sustainability and aim to offer a product that is both delicious and healthy.
PUFF PASTRIES
Our puff pastries, both sweet and savory, are handmade, one by one. We use the French method—with butter and no eggs—to make light, crisp, puff pastries with an authentic taste. We guarantee a rich, delicate flavor that melts in your mouth. Each layer of puff pastry is revealed with an explosion of fragrance and unparalleled texture. We use only the highest quality ingredients including the organic produce from our fields such as fresh and dried seasonal fruits and vegetables for fillings and toppings. Each puff pastry is made with care, and the end result is a unique product with an inviting appearance and unmistakable flavor.
GOURMET BREAKFASTS AND TASTY LIGHT LUNCHES
The bakery offers a wide variety of sweet pastries, perfect for a mouthwatering breakfast or a sweet break, including croissants, pain au chocolat, stuffed pastries, round croissants, stuffed maritozzi, danish pastries, and many other flaky delights. Every bite is a treat. Not to be outdone, we also make savory puff pastries with fillings for every taste, crisp, tasty crackers flavored with our fresh herbs, Apulian-style taralli, Umbrian rolls and gourmet sandwiches. Tasty daily specicals and charcuterie boards with local meats and cheeses enrich the lunch offerings.
PASTRIES
Cakes, bite-size pastries and single-portion desserts. The idea is to mix past and present in a sweet-tasting journey made of quality raw materials and artisanry but also innovative techniques and recipes that are anything but bland. A revisiting of Italian pastry-making with a wink towards neighboring France and a reinterpretion of traditional Umbrian confections in mignon sizes. A marriage between tradition and contemporaneity that combines authentic flavors with fresh, unexpected flavors. Each dessert is carefully made to be beautiful, delicate, and of course, flavorful. Choose freshly made goods from our counter every day or order your favorite mouth-watering treat.
COOKIES
Not only do we serve cannoncini, cream puffs, fruit tartlets, babas and macaroons but also traditional cookies of various flavors; our bakery lacks nothing. Centumbrie's artisanal cookies are entirely handmade, each step meticulously cared for to ensure unparalleled quality with fragrant texture and extraordinary taste. We use only the best raw materials, carefully selecting natural ingredients such as our organic flours and extra virgin olive oil, which are patiently blended until a perfect dough is achieved. We use no preservatives, dyes or chemical additives, because we believe that authentic goodness should only come from pure, natural ingredients.
THE SHOP
The Centumbrie Mill Bar is also a food shop where you can buy all the products from CM Centumbrie, bread of the day, vegetables from our garden, pizza and other over-the-counter products, as well as a selection of gourmet items.
