In the making · The processing
The dough is made from a unique blend of ancient Roman grains, stone-milled at the De Windotter mill, built in 1732. Maarten, Lia and their son William keep alive the tradition of milling with molenstenen (millstones), preserving the flour's flavour, nutritional value and quality.
La Lotta is the only pizzeria in the Netherlands that uses real zuurdesem (sourdough), prepared daily according to traditional method. The dough matures for at least forty-eight hours, resulting in a pizza that is lighter, easier to digest and richer in flavour than conventional preparations.
The pizza is baked in a traditional gas oven, respecting the timings and temperatures of both the Neapolitan and Roman schools to achieve the characteristic texture of each tradition.
The plant-based ingredients come from organic farming, selected to ensure quality and respect for the environment. The dough turns out richer in nutrients and lower in calories than industrial preparations.
