Without it, a good part of our recipes would not see the light of day.

Imagine a world without flour! No more cakes, pancakes, waffles, béchamel, pasta, etc… Impossible! Flour has been part of all our cooking recipes for generations. How does flour get to our plates? What part of the grain of wheat do you use? What is the difference between the types of flour? We put all his questions to Alexandre Deloingce, sales manager for the family mills, which notably supplies the bakery “La rose des vents” in Amiens.

What are Family Mills?

The Moulins Familiaux group together 4 mills: The Char mills, the Chérisy mills, the Paul Dupuis mill, the Brasseuil mills. The Maurey family, artisan miller since 1903, joined forces with the Deloingce family and the Deseine family, who now form the Moulins Familiaux. The historical union of these emblematic families of the sector and the milling know-how of the Ile-de-France has made it possible to create unique products.
