GMSA White Household Flour Type 550 is a versatile soft wheat flour for everyday cooking and baking, supplied in 1 kg bags inside a 10 kg box. Produced in Switzerland by the milling group Groupe Minoteries (GMSA), it is an all-purpose white flour for bread, pizza, fresh pasta, desserts and baked goods. It is a practical, reliable everyday flour rather than a specialised high-strength product.
What Type 550 means
Type 550 is the Swiss and German classification for a white wheat flour with a low ash content, close to the Italian tipo 0. It keeps the dough light in colour and is easy to work, which makes it a good all-round choice for home-style and everyday professional baking where a balanced, neutral flour is needed.
A Swiss flour by Groupe Minoteries
The flour is milled in Switzerland by Groupe Minoteries (GMSA), a Swiss milling group. It is a local, everyday product, distributed in convenient 1 kg bags. The Swiss origin and the practical pack make it a dependable staple for kitchens that want a consistent all-purpose flour.
How to use it
Use Type 550 as a general-purpose flour for bread, pizza bases, fresh pasta, cakes, biscuits and batters. For specialised needs such as long-fermentation pizza or strong bread, a higher-strength flour may be more suitable, but for everyday work this flour is a flexible, easy-to-handle choice. Store in a cool, dry place and keep the bag closed after opening.
