Fantastic flour best I have used the bread had a lovely crust and lovely soft crumb .I made a large Loaf it didn’t last more than a day will be ordering all my flour from you in the future. Thank you
Alan Obrien –
This one suprised me. I was looking forward to it and expected a flour full of grains but they are barely visible ie not many in the first bag i have tried. Hoping the other two will be better.

I’m new to breadmaking, and thought that this flour looked good and that I would give it a try. Hole in one! I used a very simple ‘no-knead’ recipe from the ‘Jenny can cook’ website, and I am bowled over by the result! I have made real bread and it’s delicious. In fact I enjoyed typing that last sentence so much I’m going to type it again: I have made real bread and it’s delicious. What more can I say?

Great flour – it makes a nice solid but still fluffy loaf. I love the extra bite and colour. Best flour I’ve bought since moving to the UK.

I am a fan of lots of the flour from Matthews. The Eight Grain is a favourite with my husband….I prefer more of a wholemeal loaf, so I often mix the two which gives great results that both of us love.
I wouldn’t normally use bread flour in cakes, but due to lockdown availability I have been experimenting and have used a little of this with some finer cake flour to good effect, particularly in fruit cakes, where the extra seeds work well.

Love it !!

I use the wonderful 8 grain flour as the basis of my family’s favourite bread. I use some VSW flour the night before to make a poolish and use olive oil rather than butter as this improves “keepability”, not that it lasts long. I make Pullman, buns or bloomers today was bloomers.

Hi Pat ,
Thank you for wonderful comment .
We also love our Edith Grain .
Enjoy baking !!
Pat Guy –
I ordered 5 bags of this flour during lockdown. Until now, I have stuck with whole meal but am very glad that I tried this flour and will definitely order again. I followed a Sandwhich recipe in my Panasonic bread maker and the resulting loaf stayed fresh for a couple of days. Each bite is delicious and there is often a little extra aftertaste when you’ve bitten into a grain. A wonderful flour and excellent service. I’ll be ordering from you often from now on.

Love the nutty flavour of the flour. It made gorgeous bread and a thrill to be able to have local product
Jan Brown –
Makes a lovely loaf. I have used it with a rye and spelt sourdough starter and it was great but it’s equally good with a yeast starter.
sandie middleton –
Absolutely delicious, my neighbour agrees too! Makes a great loaf. Will definitely be buying again.
Helen Curtis –
Love the eight grain flour – I have been making sourdough every week for over 4 years and this flour seems to make it more open and light – was using another brand of six grain until I couldn’t get it – will definitely stick with this one now
Miriam Bibby –

A really great flour, makes a really perfect textured loaf , excellent for sandwiches and toast, the eight grains give it extra interest and I’m sure something the ‘ health police’ would thoroughly approve of!
