Shipton Mill’s White Spelt Flour is a premium organic alternative to standard wheat flour, favored for its distinct, slightly sweet and nutty flavor. Spelt is an ancient grain that has remained largely unchanged for centuries. This "white" version has had the outer bran removed, resulting in a fine, silky flour that produces a lighter crumb than wholemeal spelt, making it exceptionally well-suited for cakes, biscuits, and light pastries.
While spelt contains gluten, its molecular structure is different from that of modern common wheat, often making it easier to digest for those with minor wheat sensitivities (though it is not suitable for coeliacs). In baking, white spelt flour behaves similarly to plain wheat flour but may require slightly less liquid or a shorter kneading time, as the gluten is more fragile. It yields a beautiful, golden finish and a refined texture that elevates home-baked treats to an artisanal level.
Milled at the historic Shipton Mill in Gloucestershire, this flour is Soil Association-certified organic and completely unbleached. Shipton Mill’s commitment to traditional milling ensures that the natural integrity of the grain is preserved without the use of synthetic additives or pesticides. This 1kg pack is an ideal way to introduce the unique benefits and superior taste of ancient grains into your daily baking repertoire.
