FlintOwl make organic, long fermented breads made from the finest flours, water and sea salt and that's it. No chemical additives, improvers or fats get anywhere near their doughs. Their breads are all handcrafted from scratch and baked in small batch sizes using ingredients that are organic and of only the highest quality. At Flint Owl we don’t believe in cutting corners for the sake of production which we feel translates into breads that are both delicious and wholesome, and also uniquely characterful. Their naturally leavened breads - such as the sourdough - are made using a starter or leaven that is over 45 years old and originates from the French Alps. By keeping the leaven fed daily, the starter will keep for many years and provide one of the essential ingredients for thousands of loaves to come. The sourdoughs are made using a traditional slow fermentation process which can take over 48 hours from flour to finished loaf and involves the skill and experience of the bakers to ensure that every batch is delivered at its very best.
