THE LITTLE MILL STORY:

Kells, owned by the Mosse family is renowned across Ireland for its high-quality flours. We have been milling at our mill on the banks of the River Nore at Bennettsbridge for seven generations. In our latest development, we are delighted to launch a new range of stoneground flours, sold under The Little Mill brand.


Available in 12.5kg bags, for wholesale to bakeries, The Little Mill Native Plúr range is made using only Irish grown grains and includes wholemeal, white and purple wheat flours. Whilst called white flours, these actually have a very distinctive creamy colour due to the fact that they are made in exactly the same way as our wholemeal flours, but we sieve out the white and leave the bran behind. As the flours are stoneground, the heat generated by the stones imparts lovely nutty flavours into the plúr. The Little Mill Native Plúr range includes the seven varities listed.


For Kells, our key considerations are always quality alongside taste and provenance, which is why in 2016 we began a collaboration with local farmer, Thomas Butlers. Just a stone’s throw from our mill on the banks of the rive Nore in Co Kilkenny, Thomas Butlers Farm in Bennettsbridge has very successfully been growing our heritage grains including Ølands Wheat for Kells.


Ølands Wheat produces an exceptional quality flour, which is sold under Kells’ Little Mill brand. The flours unique properties allow bakers and chefs to offer extra special and flavoursome breads, such as sourdough and yeasted breads, as well as delicious pizza bases – a takeaway food that seems to have grown significantly in popularity in recent weeks.

 

SELF RAISING FLOUR
Locally grown wheat is milled using the traditional stoneground methods and then separated by sieving so that the essential oils from the wheatgerm is retained, resulting in a flavoursome, versatile white flour. This is then blended with raising agents ideal for making cakes, bread and scones. It is produced using the following ingredients in descending order.

JEMMY’S STORY:

I grow two varieties of mushrooms on my farm – Shiitake Mushrooms & Oyster Mushrooms. The Shiitake Mushroom has originated from deep in forests in Japan. The mushroom grows on fallen decaying hardwood timber. Once the mycelium gets established and fruits to produce a magnificent deep earthy tasty mushroom which is also exploding with so many health benefits.

Boosting the immune system, lowering Cholesterol and contain a range of healthy minerals & vitamins. The oyster mushroom has also many health benefits and has grown in popularity in recent years. It was first cultivated in Germany during World War 1 as a main part of the diet for front line troops.

The Oyster mushroom mycelium has scientists extremely excited in what is possible with such an uptapped source. It truly is magnificent to see research for so many different ideas such as replacing leather, fully compostible grown packaging, oil spills and plastic waste.

 

ETHICAL GROWING TECHNIQUES | PRACTICES:

In the last 3 years I have tweeked and came up with a totally unique blend to create a growing medium for my Shiitake & Oyster Mushrooms. I am the only commercial Grower on the island of Ireland taking this route as I believe something so special has to be developed from scratch. This has led me to create such a unique product that you love and enjoy today. I make my own blend using by products of the Irish horticultural industry from five Counties surrounding my farm in Co.Armagh. I use organic methods to achieve all this with zero chemicals are used in my operation. Once I am finished with substrate it is stock piled and put out on the land at the back end of the year. So everything in the full process has done full circle just as nature intended.
