Amunì Praha

‘Slow Food’ is a global grassroots organization founded in 1989 to prevent the disappearance of local food cultures and traditions counteract the rise of fast life and combat people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat where it comes from and how our food choices affect the world around us. ‘Slow Food’ represents ‘good clean & fair’ food. ‘Good’ stands for quality flavoursome and healthy food. ‘Clean’ for production that does not harm the environment. And ‘fair’ for accessible prices for consumers and fair conditions and pay for producers.

‘Slow Food’ therefore represents traditional products of excellent quality. The origin of these products the production process and the economic and political context are important. This results in the conservation of biodiversity and a versatility of authentic crop species.

Amunì uses products that have received this ‘Slow Food’-label. The recipe for the dough of the Amunì pizza also is a unique process. We use flour made of wheat grains that are organically produced in Italy. For the grinding of the wheats many generations optimised the stone milling process which involves grinding two stones together. By using natural stones the wheat stays ‘alive’ and the vitamins are retained in the grain resulting in a balanced nutritive value.

We use a ‘mother dough’ and a slow rise time of at least 24 hours at room temperature allowing the typical taste and scent of sourdough to develop. Rather than using artificial yeast we utilize the natural yeast that is present in the water and wholemeal flour to make the dough ferment. This process results in a very digestible pizza.

Our pizza’s made from whole grain unprocessed flour solely contain slow sugars that give long-term and healthy energy. The body slowly absorbs these complex carbohydrates digest them easily and doesn’t store the carbohydrates as fat. Good for you and your body!

Amunì has selected top ingredients for the toppings of the pizzas. For example our ‘Slow-Food’ meat comes from cattle that was raised with natural nourishment and in a way that emphasizes the well-being of the animal.
