DID YOU KNOW. Our strong white comes from our bakers’ grade Windrush flour, named after the Windrush river that runs through Boruton on the water and Burford in the Cotswolds. The hills that bank the river on the north side face south and get plenty of sun in the summer which helps with the protein level in the bread wheat. MILLING & PROVENANCE. The Matthews family have been milling premium bread flour for over 100 years and growing and selling milling wheat for over 200 years in the cotswolds. 8 generations of dedication to the soil, mill and flour are packed into this bag of premium strong white flour. We source our wheat from our local Cotswold Grain Partnership set up by the family and local farmers surrounding the Cotswold mill. This flour is roller milled rather than stone milled to produce a very fine white flour for home bakers and professional artisan bakers around the UK.
