Milling and Provenance: Spelt was first cultivated 6000 to 9000 years ago. It is referred to as an ancient grain along with Einkorn and Emmer the other “Farro” wheats. Matthews works with spelt farmers around the Cotswold and UK and collects the “hulled Spelt” and then shares a de-hulling plant at one local farm. The spelt is then collected by the mill and conditioned in our 100-year-old pine bins before being milled into different types of spelt flour.
