Yes, all our products are made in France by major French mills (including Foricher) and imported by Bakery Distribution Warehouse. As a regional and family miller, Les Moulins Foricher has been offering pure flours of superior baking quality for over 20 years. Wheat comes exclusively from French regions (Loiret and Yonne), as close as possible to their mills. These cereals are selected for their specific characteristics and properties, as defined by CRC® specifications. Independent and committed, Foricher produce flours of constant quality and regularity, meeting Bagatelle and Label Rouge* certification standards.

We don’t have gluten-free flours yet. We’re considering adding to our catalog, and any imported flour must be FDA-approved.

Yes, Bakery Distribution Warehouse has a stock of more than 200 tons of flours permanently in its warehouses, both in the New York, Washington, and Miami areas.

Flours have a “Minimum Durability” (MDD) date* ranging from 180 days (6 months) to 365 days (12 months). As our flours are not treated with chemicals or other processes, flour mites can develop naturally over time. Flour mite eggs are naturally present in all flours. In a warm, humid environment, they transform into mites. If you want your flour to be mite-free, we recommend storing it in a cold, dry environment, such as a refrigerator or freezer, where eggs will not grow. Store them in a thick zipper bag to avoid olfactory contamination by other products.

Most of the products sold (for professionals) are packaged in 25 kg bags (55lbs). For larger volumes, bags are packaged and delivered on pallets. A full pallet consists of 40 bags of 25 kg (equivalent to 1 ton). Flours for the general public are sold in 750 g or 1 kg packs.

Yes, our packaging is recyclable, our flour bags are made of paper.

All our products are intended at professional bakers and caterers, as well as the general public.
