Foricher T80 “Tourte de Meule” (Stoneground)

Description

The Foricher T80 is a semi-wholemeal flour produced using traditional stone-milling (Meule) techniques. Unlike industrial roller milling, stone grinding preserves the wheat germ and a portion of the bran, resulting in a flour that is exceptionally rich in nutrients, fiber, and natural oils. This flour is Label Rouge (Red Label) and CRC® certified, guaranteeing sustainable farming practices and high environmental standards. It is the go-to choice for bakers seeking a rustic, “old-world” flavor and a deeply aromatic bread.

Why Morning Import Recommends It

The T80 “Farine de Meule” is for the connoisseur. Because it is stoneground, the wheat germ is crushed into the flour rather than removed, meaning it is “alive” with flavor and nutrition. It offers a distinct toasted-nut aroma and a moist, chewy crumb that stays fresh longer than breads made with highly refined flours. For those looking to bridge the gap between white bread and heavy whole wheat, the T80 is the perfect middle ground.
