“Bought this flour to try as it does seem to sell out quite quickly and wasn't disappointed at all easy to use .tastes divine .Will definitely be buying more .I can highly recommend this flour .. . Afterthought.. it does state on the back of packet recipe to use 420mls water which I found to be too much so just adjusted to around 280 which was perfect.. Still highly recommend you try it..”

“I wanted to reduce my carbon footprint and buy local. I found Cotswold Flour and ordered my first 5 bags of flour. I was so happy with the results (rise and taste) from my bread machine I've ordered 5 more bags. I've tried Rye, wholemeal varieties and white and will be buying all my flour from here in future.”

“I have been ordering Cotswold flour since lockdown. The quality is always excellent and the breads I make always turn out well. Due to Rheumatoid Arthritis, I cannot knead dough myself so have been using bread makers for over ten years now, so can't use all of the flours as the specialised ones are for handmade loaves. I particularly like the wholemeal and the strong white flours, they always turn out well. I also like the plain and self raising flours for cakes and scones. I am currently looking forward to my next order.”

“Both Mathews' white and wholemeal flours are brilliant. Using my Wilfa stand mixer I am able to produce a sourdough loaf ready for the oven in 90 minutes (60% white 40% wholemeal, 75% hydration). Perfect results every time”

“Lovely flour. I make my sourdough bread with this. The wholemeal was recommended by a lady who has done quite a bit of sourdough baking and said it was the best she'd used. It's certainly tasty and works well in my bread.”

“I have started using Matthew's eight grain flour and have found it the best flour that makes the most delicious bread. The only criticism I have is that I wish to buy bulk bags (16kg), but the site just keeps saying "notify me when available" Although you always have 1.5kg bags. I can also buy 1.5kg eight grain from Tesco for £2.80 yet direct from Matthew's it is £3.25. I would highly recommend Matthew's eight grain flour, but i feel the company need to improve their service to Joe public.”

Hi Michael, thank you for your feedback - we're so glad that you like the Eight Grain! We appreciate your notes regarding the cost and would like to point out that £2.80 is an offer price from Tesco (for Clubcard holders) and not the full retail price, and that - as a much smaller business - we are not always able to match the prices that our bigger supermarket retailers can offer in any case. This said, we have kept our website prices frozen (despite rises in inflation) since 2023 - absorbing much of the impact of rising costs ourselves. On your point about availability of 16kg bags, we recognise this issue. We have typically only been able to carry smaller amounts of stock of these until recently, as 16kg bags take up a lot more space than the smaller ones, but after making improvements to our warehousing facilities we are hoping to be able to carry more in the very near future. We hope this helps. Thank you again for your feedback and we hope you enjoy all your upcoming bakes!
