Just had first delivery and first two loaves are genuinely different from for instance M and S flour - better texture better taste and altogether a lot better than High St brands. I have noticed the... See more

Usually the flour from Stoats is excellent but recently I tried the True South West wholemeal, ordering 8 lots of 1.5kg bags. This flour was very coarse and the sourdough loaf made from this flour was... See more

Absolutely great flour

Absolutely great flour, shop bought is no comparison and even such a difference from what are really good artisan flours. There are very good flours out there but this is on another level. I use it for my sourdough starter and mix it with Wessex Mill to make fantastic loaves. There will be equals to this but few and far between.
Thank you Michael Stoat

Wonderful flour

The flour itself is excellent, the system of customer collection is very convenient for us and seems to work very well indeed. Whenever we have seen Stoates staff they have been very welcoming and informative.

Flour like it should be

You can tell there is something special about Stoates stoneground white bread flour as soon as you open the bag. It has a creamy colour and obviously contains more of the goodness of the wheat grain than many other white flours. On adding water the colour yet darkens to an almost biscuity shade. Once cooked that effect is reversed.

From a bread making perspective, the flour strikes me as not as strong as some with less gluten, which needs to be taken into account when using slow ferment methods. I have found it's important not to overdo the intermediate rising. Having said that, after a couple of batches, I'm more than happy with the results I'm getting.

I am now on my 4th 25kg sack - that speaks volumes for the regard in which I hold Stoates and my satisfaction with their extraordinary flour. Long may it continue!
