Introducing Matthews Cotswold Stoneground Wholegrain Dark Rye Flour, a premium 100% Pumpernickel Flour milled in Britain from locally sourced Cotswold Rye grain. This artisanal flour is used to produce delicious rye breads with a distinctive dark, dense character. Unlike wheat flour, our wholemeal Rye flour has a rich, greige color and a coarser texture, resulting in a denser bread with a nutty flavor.

Our Rye grain is carefully grown on the Cotswold hills, and our unique milling process ensures that the outer fibre-rich bran and oily germ at the centre of the rye grain remain intact, making this flour a true Pumpernickel product. With its low gluten content, this flour is perfect for creating rye dough that requires minimal mixing.

Not only does our Cotswold Dark Rye Flour produce delicious bread, but it also offers numerous health benefits. Rich in soluble fibre, calcium, iron, vitamin E, and potassium, it's an excellent addition to a healthy diet. And did you know that rye is actually a type of grass, which evolved alongside barley and wheat in Turkey before spreading across Europe?

Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, Matthews Cotswold Stoneground Wholegrain Dark Rye Flour is the perfect choice for creating a variety of delicious rye breads. Try blending it with our Light Rye Flour for a higher rising, lighter bread or with Eight Grain for a beautiful multigrain loaf.
