[14^th October 2024 – Hong Kong] Starting from 7^th October, BaseHall 01 is thrilled to welcome EMMER to its vibrant culinary line-up. Named after the ancient grain ‘Emmer’ wheat, known for being naturally lower in gluten and richer in nutrients, EMMER offers a delightful menu featuring artisan pizzas, panini, panuozzo, and fresh salads, all crafted from a distinctive dough made with freshly milled Emmer grain, and combined with rye and Italian 00 flour. With a commitment to quality ingredients and traditional pizza-making techniques, EMMER promises guests a flavorful and wholesome dining experience.

HONG KONG’S FIRST EXCLUSIVE PANUOZZO AT EMMER IN BASEHALL 01

EMMER introduces its exclusive “Panuozzo” at BaseHall 01, featuring the first-ever panuozzo in Hong Kong, perfect for a delicious lunch ‘on the go.’ These hot sandwiches, similar to a stuffed ciabatta and a popular street food in Calabria, are crafted using EMMER’s signature pizza dough, which is freshly baked in a pizza oven “a la minute” for optimal flavor and texture. The panuozzo menu includes 4 enticing options including the Meatball Panuozzo (HK$108), with beef meatballs, marinara sauce, and mozzarella; the vegetarian option of Zucchini Parmigiana Panuozzo (HK$78) featuring breaded fried zucchini, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and Parmigiano; the Spicy Pepperoni Panuozzo (HK$88), combining pepperoni, spicy marinara, kalamata olives, mozzarella, and Sicilian oregano; and the Italian Fried Chicken Panuozzo (HK$88), made with Italian secret spice fried chicken, pepperoni, marinara, mozzarella, Parmigiano, and fresh basil.

ARTISANAL PIZZA, PANINI AND SALADS BY EMMER

EMMER’s pizzas are renowned for their beautifully artisan texture—crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside, filled with yeasty air bubbles, and packed with flavor from creamy mozzarella, fruity tomatoes, salty cured meats, and zesty basil, all resting on a subtly charred underside. Guests can savor from 11 pizza options including a classic Margherita (HK$108) (v) topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and basil; a vegan Marinara (HK$118) with cherry tomatoes, capers, and black olives; and the Dolce Diavola (HK$168) featuring artisan-made pepperoni, spicy tomato sauce, and honey, among other options.

For those seeking savory panini, EMMER offers 4 options such as the Italian Thanksgiving (HK$68) with roasted turkey, scamorza cheese, cranberry mustard and baby spinach; the Miso BBQ Eggplant (HK$62) with miso roasted eggplant, scamorza, dill pickles and onion; and the New York Smoked Salmon (HK$68) with a veggie cream cheese spread and more. To round out the experience, EMMER also features fresh salads, including a Romaine Caesar with Chicken ($90); a House Green Leaves ($58); and a Salmon Salad ($119), ensuring a diverse culinary experience for all visitors.

ABOUT EMMER

Emmer is a sister brand from the team behind Beef & Liberty. Like Beef & Liberty, Emmer is elevating a humble street food to something seriously special.

Our name is our beginning. Emmer is an ancient, organic heritage grain, which we blend with rye and good Italian flour. These hand-selected grains are lower in gluten, and higher in nutrients like an9oxidants, vitamins and minerals. They make every pizza naturally better and naturally tastier. We mill our grains by hand, letting the dough ferment over two days to let it rise to something naturally light and naturally airy. We bake every pizza, and panino/panozzo bread, in an iconic rotating steel oven. We only use the finest added ingredients to focus on the flavour. The final pizza and breads are the perfect blend of chewy and crunchy. Light inside, with just the right bite of crunch from the crust.

Emmer is available at BaseHall 01 in Jardine House, or at the original location of Level 4, outside Pacific Place, both in Central, Hong Kong.
