Alliance Bio - French 100% Organic Stone-Ground Wholegrain Buckwheat Flour T150 (Integral)
Alliance Bio focuses on integrating eco-friendly practices into farming, ensuring that agricultural processes not only yield high-quality produce but also maintain and enhance the health of the environment. In the southern part of Lot-et-Garonne (France), approximately fifty farmers collaborate with the company, embracing a philosophy that honors nature and all living beings.
Through the adoption of long crop rotations by alternating crops annually, the soil is able to regenerate, maintaining its long-term capacity to provide nourishment. With the use of green fertilizers, the soil remains free from chemical treatments. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and traditional farming wisdom, Alliance Bio is setting a new standard for agricultural excellence that prioritizes both productivity and ecological stewardship.
All flours at Alliance Bio are ground and packaged promptly to preserve their quality for a longer duration. Alliance Bio’s granite millstones, meticulously carved from a single block in the quarries of the Sidobre Massif (Tarn), operate at approximately 120 revolutions per minute. The grain, placed at the center, is evenly unrolled and travels the entire length of the 100 cm diameter millstone, while maintaining a temperature below 30 °C. During the rotation of the millstone, all components of the grain are crushed and blended, mimicking the traditional methods of ancestral flour production. This results in a grind that retains the vitamins, minerals, fibers, and natural aroma of the wheat.

When mixing with another flour, a general guideline is to use 30% buckwheat flour relative to the total flour amount. Feel free to experiment to find the perfect balance between the buckwheat flavor and the dough's ability to rise. Be sure to slightly increase the water amount compared to your original recipe, as buckwheat flour tends to absorb more liquid.
