OUR MILL IS A UNION OF ANCIENT SKILL AND MODERN TECHNOLOGY
The Molini del Ponte is located in Castelvetrano Selinunte (TP), a short distance from the largest archaeological park in Europe.
Our structure has no equal in Sicily or on the Italian peninsula. It is a showcase of the extraordinary coexistence of modern and ancient technology, with a modern system of computerized cylinder mills running alongside ancient stone mills in use since the 1800’s. 
The recovery of ancient grains was the innovative step of Filipo Drago, current owner of the company at a time when the industry was concentrated on high yield grains at the cost of biodiversity.
Only the highest quality grains, exclusively hard and soft grain, cultivated in the Region of Sicily and delivered to the mill where every grain is cleaned and processed. An indispensable condition  for producing quality flour is the care of the grain, made possible by the modern system of grain selection and cleaning  with optic separating and cleaning machines  capable of removing any impurities before milling. 
“The future lies in the mill-stones, aided by technology, a return to old practices, the wisdom and methods of the ancients,  a production that respects the satisfaction of men who produce with their own hands while breathing  the scents and aromas which to them tell stories.” Filippo Drago
