Organic Ciabatta White Flour (107)

Shipton Mill

£1.9

This type of flour was originally milled as a comparatively coarse, rustic flour in Northern Italy and used for ciabatta, a distinctive loaf which acquired its name because it looked rather like a slipper. Our ciabatta flour is a high protein white wheat flour that can support the large air bubbles that develop during fermentation, and which characterise this delicious Italian bread.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as SHIPTON MILL LIMITED, number 01458168. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "Our Mill is now powered by energy from 100% renewable sources, including from our own solar panels. Any excess heat from the milling processes is converted into heating for our offices and provides hot water all year round. The Mill, surrounding river and millpond are home to a thriving and diverse ecosystem, including wild brown trout, kingfishers, damselflies and otters." Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
