PROBIO – Fine Spelt Flour – spelt with more digestible fibre, sweet and savoury baking
Fine spelt flour is a finely milled organic flour from spelt (Triticum spelta) for everyday and festive baking. It offers the pure taste of the original grain and reliable dough handling.
It excels in cakes, braided breads, sweet breads, and Christmas pastries. It is equally good for thickening soups and sauces and for homemade bread with a fine, smooth crumb.
Spelt is one of the oldest grains and is nutritionally richer than common wheat. Naturally, it provides more proteins, minerals, and B vitamins; its fibre is more digestible.
Fine milling (fine flour) gives the dough elasticity and supports even rising. The pastry then holds its shape, has a fine crumb, and works well even with traditional recipes.
PROBIO emphasizes gentle processing and quality of raw materials. The result is stable performance in baking and a natural, slightly nutty taste of spelt in every loaf and cake.

Main Benefits of Fine Spelt Flour from PROBIO
- „Fine milling“ for smooth dough – fine spelt flour is easy to work with and supports elasticity, even rising, and a clean cut without lumps.
- Balanced performance in baking – works reliably in leavened and beaten doughs; holds shape, bakes to a golden colour, and gives a fine, smooth crumb.
- More nutritionally rich profile than wheat– spelt naturally offers more protein, selected minerals, and B vitamins compared to regular wheat flour.
- Better tolerated fibre – spelt fibre is generally more digestible; the dough is pliable, the pastry soft, and the taste balanced.
- Versatile use in the kitchen – cakes, Christmas bread, Easter bread, and Christmas pastries; also suitable for thickening soups and sauces and for homemade bread.
- Organic origin and gentle processing – ingredients from organic farming, milling with an emphasis on quality; resulting in a stable, repeatable baking result.
Fine spelt flour combines a fine texture, a slightly nutty taste, and reliable dough handling – an ideal base for sweet and savoury recipes.
How does spelt differ from regular wheat?
Spelt (Triticum spelta) is an older subspecies of wheat and belongs to the hulled grains, so the grain is protected by a natural husk until milling. This gives spelt flour a pure aroma and a slightly nutty taste that stands out in baked goods.
Compared to regular wheat, spelt has a finer gluten, making the dough softer, rising faster, and forming a lighter structure, but it holds its shape less. Spelt flour absorbs liquid better, so it's often necessary to slightly adjust the amount of water or fat in the recipe.
From a nutritional perspective, spelt is naturally richer in proteins, minerals, and B vitamins, making the dough feel softer and the resulting spelt pastry has a more pronounced taste than traditional wheat products.

FAQ
Do I need to adjust hydration and kneading time for "Fine Spelt Flour" compared to plain wheat?
For spelt, slightly lower hydration and shorter kneading usually work well. The dough is more supple and easier to "relax", so gentle handling and careful rising control help.
Is "Fine Spelt Flour" suitable for homemade bread, or just for sweet baking?
It is versatile: handles cakes, Christmas bread, Easter bread, thickening sauces and baking homemade bread. For large loaves, the "spelt bread" or wholemeal variant may be more stable.
Why is the dough from "Fine Spelt Flour" softer and how to adapt the process?
Spelt tends to have higher extensibility and lower "strength" than wheat. Shorter autolysis, gentle kneading, folding during rising and avoiding over-proofing the dough help.
Is "Fine Spelt Flour" nutritionally different from regular wheat?
Generally yes: spelt is an original grain with a more nutritionally diverse profile (often more protein and selected B vitamins/minerals). The flour is low-fat, with minimal sugars.

Who is behind PROBIO
The company PROBIO was founded in the 90s by Ing. Martin Hutař and Ing. Karel Matěj, who decided to focus on the production of organic food. The small company has grown into the largest organic food producer in the Czech Republic with more than 120 employees, three organic mills and its own organic farm.
They focus on traditional crops such as spelt and buckwheat and bring them to modern customers in the form of quality organic food, including gluten-free products produced in a certified mill.
The vision of PROBIO is to promote organic farming and protect the planet for future generations. They are bringing traditional crops back into the menu and linking production with education, for example through excursions and annual Biosavings.
Their combination of ecology, quality and tradition makes them a pioneer of organic food in the Czech Republic.
The exceptionality of traditional crops
Since its establishment, the company PROBIO has focused on the processing of traditional crops that were a common part of Czech agriculture in the past. These crops include, for example, spelt, buckwheat, single or double grain.
These ingredients not only enrich the diet, but thanks to their rich nutritional composition they are real "superfoods".
PROBIO brings these forgotten treasures back into our lives and at the same time supports organic farming, which is kind to nature and preserves healthy soil and water for future generations.
Inspiration for customers
PROBIO brings its customers not only a wide range of organic food, but also new options to enrich their daily diet.
Through original mixes such as barley fritters or buckwheat gingerbread, they introduce customers to lesser-known but nutritious foods. These mixtures are prepared to make it easy and quick to prepare tasty dishes.
PROBIO thus becomes an inspiration for everyone who wants to discover new tastes and at the same time support a healthier and more sustainable way of eating.
From spelt to Czech superfoods
Spelled was one of the first crops that PROBIO returned to the Czech fields, and to this day it is a symbol of their efforts to restore traditional agricultural values.
The experience of our ancestors inspired society to further develop and discover crops that were once a common part of the diet - buckwheat, single or double grain.
These crops, now called 'superfoods', are rich in nutrients and bring not only a variety of flavours but also significant health benefits.
Under the brand PROBIO you will find a whole range of these products, either in the form of basic ingredients or easily prepared mixtures. Each product is associated with a love for the land and respect for nature, which gives Czech superfoods a uniqueness you won't find elsewhere.
PROBIO thus brings traditional values into modern cuisine and inspires a return to a natural way of eating.
Organic farming and sustainability
The company PROBIO is a pioneer of organic farming in the Czech Republic and builds its commitment to sustainability on solid foundations. All of the company's activities are aimed at protecting nature, soil, water and the health of the planet.
He farms on his own organic farm in Hostěrádky, where crops are grown with respect to the natural balance of ecosystems. PROBIO also supports family eco-farms throughout the Czech Republic, from which it takes quality raw materials for the production of its organic food.
The company's certifications confirm its high standards of quality and environmental responsibility. All products carry the organic label and meet strict requirements for organic farming and sustainable production.
In addition, the products from the gluten-free mill are marked with the crossed-out log symbol, which guarantees safety for people with gluten intolerance. The company regularly checks the quality of its products in its own laboratory and ensures that customers receive the best - healthy, clean and environmentally friendly.
PROBIO is thus a symbol of ecological responsibility, which is reflected in every step of their production.
PROBIO - quality organic food
Return of the spelt to the Czech fields
In the 1990s, PROBIO revived the cultivation of spelled, which was almost forgotten at the time.
Thanks to close collaboration with gene banks and our own research, we have been able to reintroduce this cereal and demonstrate its unique properties.
Today, spelt, along with products such as flour and pasta, is the mainstay of their offer.
Support of local farmers
