Helpful context for customers who are curious, new, or ready to learn more.
What makes it different?
Fresh-milled flour keeps more of the grain intact, which can mean fuller flavor, more aroma, and a livelier baking experience.
Whole wheat vs. bolted
Whole wheat includes the entire grain. Bolted flour is sifted to remove part of the bran for a lighter texture and a different balance in the final bake.
Best used fresh
For the best quality, use fresh-milled flour promptly or store it in the refrigerator or freezer to keep it tasting its best.
