Molino Spadoni adds oat and rice flours to a coordinated retail range

Food Affairs reports that Molino Spadoni has launched Dispensa Creativa, a range bringing together existing alternative ingredients and two new flours. The additions are stone-ground wholegrain oat flour and rice flour, both offered in 500-gram plastic flowpacks. The range also includes chickpea flour in a 500-gram pack, chestnut flour in a 400-gram pack and grated coconut in a 250-gram pack.

The reported launch concerns a coordinated consumer assortment, with different colours helping shoppers distinguish the ingredients. Its sourcing relevance extends beyond adding another flour: several products can share a shelf presentation while requiring different specifications, processing checks and purchase quantities.

Cosmo’s buyer interpretation: importers developing an alternative-flour or private-label brief should start with the intended recipes and customer use. Compare water absorption, flavour, texture and handling in actual bakery or snack trials before treating ingredients as substitutes. Request ingredient specifications, allergen and cross-contact information, packaging details and shelf-life evidence for each proposed SKU.

Pack economics also need a separate review. A common 500-gram format does not establish common minimum orders, freight efficiency or lead times across ingredients. Buyers should ask suppliers to confirm export availability, case and pallet configuration, remaining shelf life on arrival and destination-language artwork requirements. Any nutrition or dietary statement should follow the exact product documentation and applicable market rules.
