Weekend bakers: Let us know what you’ve baked!

T55 fine flour for pastries, breads, cookies, noodles & cakes, in 1.5kg bags.

All the nerdy details: Wildfarmed are reinventing and revolutionising the way land is farmed, setting out to challenge the way crops are grown, not only producing a superior product but also saving our planet along the way. No pesticides, herbicides, fungicides.

Organically produced from wheat grown through regenerative farming. Wildfarmed flour is grown in a biodiverse system that leaves the soil teeming with life, naturally feeding itself but also capturing huge amounts of CO2.

Wildfarmed Superfine White Flour T55 is the finest of all the Wildfarmed flours. it's hugely versatile and works best in products requiring a finer texture such as pasta, pastries, noodles and beyond. Milled a little differently to the other Wildfarmed flours, using a process that splits the grain prior to milled which results in a very white and fine flour.
