Shop Cotswolds member, Shipton Mill, is the home of Regenerative Organic Flour.
Their Organic Traditional White Flour was one of the first flours they ever milled, based on their love of a heritage English grain called Maris Widgeon.
This recipe is to make sourdough with it, and they think the flavour the Maris Widgeon adds to the blend is something special.
For every acre, Maris Widgeon yields less than half the amount of wheat of many modern varieties, but its quality and flavour are so unique that they have worked with farmers for over 40 years to encourage the growth of this heritage variety and help retain genetic diversity.
@shiptonmill they currently blend the Maris Widgeon from each year’s harvest with some carefully selected organic wheats from the continent to create consistent baking results.
They would love to bring a 100% Maris Widgeon flour to the table, if this is something you’d be interested in please let them know.
