What Is It? Wednesday: Stone Milling Bob's Red Mill
Our operating millstones are hand quarried in La FertesousJouarre, France. The stone has the advantage of occurring in a form with a myriad of very small holes in a flinthard setting. The biting, or "lively" quality for grinding grain is owed to the flinty nature of the stone. Its very hardness means that a pair of stones will last a lifetime.
