I'm posting this to see if any one knows the Gluten % this may be a stupid question, but it dose not tell Gluten % on the Nutrition Facts. Or if it dose, I don't know how to read it.

Kim,

Nominally, the percentage protein of the La Romanella high-gluten flour is 4 grams/30 grams per serving, or 13.33%. However, it's hard to be precise on this because the labelling laws allow rounding out of numbers that can make the actual protein content higher or lower.

Thank you Peter I made dough last night for the first time with this flour, and I have two pizza balls in the refrigerator for tonight. I hope it works out for me as I have 25Lbs of it.

Pete-zza, can I ask about the formula for figuring that out. I have been looking for a high gluten to try and everything I have looked at here in canada is 4 grams for protein. Is their a difference somewhere else that I need to look for?

Thanks

Whiskyb,

The best source of information on protein percent for a particular flour is the specifications for the flour. Unfortunately, not all millers or sellers of flours make their flour specs available to the public. This is especially common for private branded flours such as the LaRomanella flour, which seems to be a Smart and Final house brand. The best you can do under the circumstances is to divide the number of grams per serving by the serving size (in grams). So, for the LaRomanella flour, it is 4g./30g. = 13.33%. Most flour labels give both the protein content per serving size and the serving size. A remote possibility would be to call the distributor (Amerifoods Trading in the case of the LaRomanella flour) and see if they have the specs or can gain access to them.

What you really want to do is ask for the Certificate of Analysis or COA. This will give you the exact protein for what's in the bag. Usually, the spec is a guideline that the flour is milled to. Because of growing conditions, wheat market and a whole host of other variables, what is spec'd is not necessarily what's in the bag.
