This Organic Wholemeal Flour from Shipton Mill offers a rich blend of flavours and textures. It is carefully prepared by the miller in traditional stout elm wood bins, once widely used before plastic and metal storage took over. These bins were favoured for their resistance to splitting and natural anti-pest properties, making them ideal for flour storage.
 
The flour is made using Maris Widgeon, a heritage UK wheat, blended with top-quality organic wheat from Europe. Maris Widgeon was originally developed for artisan bread-making and, interestingly, was also popular for thatching roofs due to its tall, strong stems. It produces a nutty, flavourful flour with excellent baking qualities, though its lower yield means it is less commonly grown today. However, it remains a favourite among artisan bakers and millers for its exceptional taste and natural resilience.
