Matthews Cotswold Stoneground White Spelt Flour
Matthews Cotswold Stoneground Spelt flour is a smooth white flour milled from UK grown ancient grain spelt. Spelt is a highly nutritious and healthy option, compared to wheat, it is packed full of fibre. Cotswold Spelt is a perfect all-purpose healthy baking flour that produces delicious bread, cake and biscuit recipes.
Rich in flavour spelt is superb for bread making and speciality pastry. Stripped from its coarse outer layer to end with a smooth white flour. A great healthy option with it being easier to digest rather than normal flours.
This flour produces light easier to rise breads with the distinctive nutty and sweet spelt flavour.
Also available in 1.5kg Bags here.
Milling and Provenance: Spelt was first cultivated 6000 to 9000 years ago. It is referred to as an ancient grain along with Einkorn and Emmer the other “Farro” wheats. Matthews works with spelt farmers around the Cotswold and UK and collects the “hulled Spelt” and then shares a de-hulling plant at one local farm. The spelt is then collected by the mill and conditioned in our 100-year-old pine bins before being milled into different types of spelt flour.
