SOURCING THE BEST WHEAT
Every time you bake, whether it’s a straightforward white loaf or a complex cake recipe, we believe the flour you use should be right for the job. So we strive to source the very best varieties of wheat, working with farmers who share our commitment. Because we know from nearly 200 years experience that when you start with the best flour you get the best results.
Wheat is a natural product that can vary by variety, by region and by growing and harvest conditions from year to year. Wheat is selected to match its required end use.
Our knowledge of wheat allows us to select the best available and optimise its baking quality. When we mill, every grain is treated with care and attention to achieve the best flour. Once it has been milled the flour is checked for quality and we also bake bread in our test bakery to ensure it reaches its fullest baking potential. The better the wheat, the better the flour.
HANDLING WITH CARE
Specifically selected for its baking purpose, every type of grain that arrives at our mill is different, so we individually mill each type to achieve consistent flour every time, then blend the flours together to optimise final product performance….it’s this attention to detail that makes the Carr’s difference.

ADDING NOTHING
Apart from taking the optimum time to temper our grain, we believe that the best flour needs nothing to be added – only our self raising flour blends fine flour and simple raising agents to help create the lightest baking.
MILLING TODAY
We have been in the business of flour for nearly 200 years and we’ve learnt a thing or two about what makes the best flour. Today we continue to strive for perfection, combining traditional craft and modern milling techniques, so our a team of expert millers blend knowledge and expertise into every bag we produce.
THE BAKER’S CHOICE
Great baking starts with consistent, reliable flour. Known in baking circles as the flour that means great baking, Carr’s Mills supply flour that’s tried and trusted by Britain’s best artisan and trade bakers. We should know, we have been doing it for nearly 200 years.
