A Crucial Component Mud Foods' Scrumptious Pastry: Marriage's Flour

At Mud Foods, we pride ourselves on creating mouth-watering pies, sides, Squiches and other goodies to complete an easy, delicious meal. One of the key ingredients behind the magic of our buttery pastry is the exceptional quality of Marriage's Flour. But, you may ask yourself, what makes this flour so special - and why do we choose it for our precious pies?

The story of Marriage's Flour goes back a long way and, this in part explains why we’ve made it an essential part of our recipes.

A Legacy of Excellence

Marriage's Flour has a rich history - they’re actually celebrating their bi-centenary this year! This six-generation family-run business has perfected the art of producing very high-quality flour. Their long-standing commitment to excellence is evident in every sack of their flour, making it the natural choice for Mud Foods. When you bite into the crust of one of our pies, you're tasting the result of generations of knowledge and passion.

The Perfect Partnership

Our relationship with Marriage's Flour is more than just a supplier-customer dynamic; it's a strong partnership based on shared values and a dedication to quality. We believe in using only the best ingredients to create the finest products; Marriage’s Flour fits the bill perfectly, providing the perfect texture and flavour for our buttery pastry.

Sustainability at Heart

Sustainability is a core value for both our companies. Marriage's is committed to environmentally friendly practices, from sourcing locally grown wheat, to employing sustainable milling methods. This commitment to sustainability resonates with our own efforts to minimise our environmental impact.

Local Pride

At Mud Foods, we take great pride in supporting local producers and showcasing the best of British ingredients. The Marriage's Flour we use is milled in the UK, using wheat sourced mainly from within a 30 mile radius of their mill. This not only ensures the highest quality, but also supports local agriculture and reduces food miles. Our flour has a fine texture and excellent gluten structure, which creates the perfect butter pastry, ensuring it’s consistently light, crisp and utterly delectable. 

A quick look at the Marriage’s website, will show that they also import some wheat from Canada and you may be wondering about why they do this? The reason for this is simple - Canadian flours, like Manitoba flour in particular, have a higher protein content. This is the best when it comes to fermenting as it adds an extra dimension to baking bread. It’s also the type of flour used for making ‘stretchy’ breads, like Pannetone or morning rolls. We don’t need this level of protein for our pies, so local flour is perfect for what we need.

Conclusion

From our Steak and Ale pies, to our Red Onion Marmalade and Brie Squiche we are passionate about creating the best possible goodies for our customers. Our partnership with Marriage's Flour is a testament to our commitment to quality, sustainability, and supporting local producers. With 200 years of milling expertise, a dedication to environmentally friendly practices and a proud British heritage, the next time you savour one of our butter pastries, remember that one factor in its deliciousness lies in the exceptional quality of Marriage's Flour.
