What is the difference between a stone mill and a cylinder mill?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The amount of flour<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A stone mill will produce less flour than a cylinder mill. In fact, the aim of industrialisation was to increase quantities, and this was the answer provided by cylinder mills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quality of the flour<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With a stone mill (models have come a long way since then), the rotation crushes the seeds with a minimum of passing through. What difference does this make?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your seeds are not oxidised by the heat, so they retain all their nutritional qualities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the difference between an Astri\u00e9 mill and a stone mill?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Astri\u00e9 mill is a stone mill. It is said to be the \u2018must\u2019 of the stone mill because it allows you to respect your seeds completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Astri\u00e9 brothers’ invention means that the seed is no longer crushed between the millstones, but rather gently unrolled to extract its contents without oxidising it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a traditional stone mill, the seed is crushed by the weight of the upper millstone. This is not at all the case with the Astri\u00e9 mill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andr\u00e9 and Pierre Astri\u00e9’s system is precisely to attach the flying millstone to an oscillating system, allowing the gap between the millstones to be reduced or increased depending on the grain and the flour required<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The difference between a stone mill and an Astri\u00e9 mill is that the flour is easy to digest<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why does unrolled rather than crushed seed make all the difference to your flour?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unrolling the seeds preserves the whole germ of your cereal. So your flour is easy to digest and healthy. And that’s what gives it its unrivalled old-fashioned taste and all its added value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The germ of the seed contains all the nutrients, which is why it is vital to preserve it in order to obtain exceptional flour:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
