Looks like a very nice site - another to bookmark!
Edited to Add:
More than nice - extremely useful - I've been looking for somewhere to buy bulk bread flour!
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

OK! :iconbiggrin: Actually I recently discovered an organic wholemeal bread flour in a hypermarket (that we don't go to very often!) which is a first, wholemeal AND organic :shock: - I've been searching for any kind of 'brown' bread flour for a while. It cost €1.60 per kg which is not too bad a price for bread flour here, and organic to boot! :thumbright:

However it's a lot cheaper on that site :( and the supermarket bread flour in England is miles cheaper than here; I don't know why flour in general is just soooooo expensive in France. :dontknow:

I reckon that will be because IME just about every town/village/hamlet has a baker's shop in France - wheras in UK very few do, as the general populace buy at supermarkets. We lost ours four years ago when the baker retired, the shop is now Another hairdressers :banghead:

I bought some of their pasta flour which i haven't used yet. I also got some self-raising wholemeal of theirs and made some banana cake from the recipe on their website which i enjoyed.
