Matthews Traditional Stoneground Strong Wholegrain Flour | Speciality | Artisanal | Milled in Britain | 1.5kg Bag (Pack of 5)

Stoneground milling is the ancient way of milling and before the mass introduction of roller mills was the main way flour was produced with thousands of water mills and windmills all over the UK. In Shipton-Under-Wychwood 1000 years ago there were 6 Shipton mills, today there is only one Shipton Mill run by the Matthews family. The present-day Matthews stone and roller mill is located 50 meters from the river Evenlode and the site of an old watermill. The reason for the move was to be nearer the connecting rail track built in 1845. We source naturally high protein wheat from our local Cotswold Grain Partnership to produce a superior 14.5% wholemeal flour. The natural high gluten produces a beautiful crusty bread with a unique rustic stone ground flavour.

At the Matthews Cotswold Flour mill we mill these flours on our stones “Marmaduke” and “George” the old fashioned way that retains 100% of the grain in the flour.
