Fabulous

Easy to use the website, good variety of flours. The newsletters are always an enjoyable read. And most importantly I do love making bread with Cotswold's Flour.

A first rate experience from start to finish.

I havent been paid to make this review and it is my honest opinion. I have recently been learning how to make sourdough. I had been watching a YouTube channel that uses their flour to make their sour dough and she recommended it. I thought I’d try the flour as when I looked in the website it was keenly priced alongside supermarket brands. I thought it would be fresher too. I have ordered twice now, buying different types of bread flour each time. It is excellent flour and I’ve had first rate results using it. I no longer buy supermarket bread. I find making it myself cheaper, especially during this economic climate. A first rate experience from start to finish.

Always great to have a delivery of several bags. It means I can have a baking-binge for weeks, instead of having to carry flour back from the shop. It gives you a self-satisfied smugness to open a larder door and see enough flour to do exactly what you want.
Also. . . always good quality, and always delivered undamaged and promptly.

This is the best flour you can buy

This is the best flour you can buy. It's extremely consistent and very forgiving especially if you are beginner baker. I used to use a mix of this flour and regular supermarket strong white flour. I have since discovered that using Matthews strong white together with Cotswold Crunch makes excellent bread

Matthew's Flours.

Bought a bread maker so we could make our own. Knowing what goes into it store bought and trying to improve our health, we researched and tried many flours. Picked up our first pack of Churchill's in our local supermarket, it worked a treat and tasted wonderful. We checked out Matthew's website and there was a lot of different flour's on offer, to suit all tastes. We made an order and it arrived very quickly and well packaged. At the moment we are working our way through their catalogue of flours, every pack has worked beautifully, it is just a matter of taste. Recommended.

The Cotswold flour is the only flour I use now

The Cotswold flour is the only flour that I've tried to make sourdough with that has actually worked for me consistently. I've tried since lockdown and never very successful, so I gave up.
The tutorials from Elaine Boddy are so simple and easy to follow.
Also a bonus to that there is so much choice of flour to choose from...all excellent and work well with their recipes.
Easy to order from, and reliable delivery, day and time also accurate.
I am so impressed with the company, I won't bother buying from anywhere else.
I am now enjoying all the various baking ideas.

Sourdough Flour

On my 4th sourdough loaf now and finally have got the process right.

The Churchill Flour seems to be the right one after recommendation from yourself.

Always good quality bread flour

Always good quality bread flour, and with a good range of different flours available. It would be great if some of those currently only available in large sacks were also available in 1.5kg bags.

Quality flour makes tasty bread!

I've tried the Eight Grain and Cotswold Crunch, both on their own and mixed 50/50 with Spelt, in my Panasonic bread maker. Every loaf has turned out well and tastes delicious. Good value too. I shall be trying some more varieties.

Spelt flour

Excellent product. I only use spelt flour and this achieves excellent results for me. Beautiful loaves time after time even when I add seeds.

Always happy with their products and service, been using this flour for baking our bread for almost a decade now I think. Used their recipe to make a new starter too - the best starter I made to date. Thank you

Excellent

Have been using Matthews flour for at least the last 6 years. Always found it excellent especially in various combinations for sourdough. The maizflour is great for pastries too.

Not just fantastic flour …..

I have been a regular customer for a number of years. I just do domestic baking so I could hardly be described as a major client.
There was an error in my last order.
The team quickly responded, investigated the issue, explained what had gone wrong and corrected my order. All over the busy holiday period.

Not just fantastic flour … fantastic service too!

Thank You
