We have been stocking Wessex Mill Flour for a number of years offering a broad selection, here is more information about them.
Wessex Mill is an artisan flour, milled in the heart of the beautiful North Wessex Downs. A family-owned brand, its milling history in Wessex goes back more than 100 years.
Sourcing grain grown close to the mill to support local farmers and reduce food miles is very important to us. We are proud to use only the best local wheat for all our core bread and culinary flours procured direct from farmers we know and trust. The grain variety and farmer is printed on our flour bags giving real transparency.
Once we receive the grain onto site, we mill it slower and in smaller batches than larger mills, which we believe allows us to deliver fantastic quality flour that performs consistently, again and again. We are delighted to have won numerous Great Taste Awards over the years for a number of our flours.
The flours that we stock are as follows:
