Our September Hero Ingredient: Laucke Flour

Our September Hero Ingredient: Laucke Flour

The Family Cook Hero Ingredient Series celebrating the local people behind the food we love.

Apart from REAL butter, here's one of the secrets behind our garlic bread...

Great flour.

For September, we're celebrating Laucke Flour - another South Australian name with an incredible story behind it.

More than 125 years of milling

The Laucke story stretches all the way back to 1899, when German miller Friedrich Laucke took control of a flour mill at Greenock in South Australia's Barossa Valley.

More than 125 years later, Laucke Flour Mills remains family owned, with successive generations continuing the family's milling tradition.

Today, Laucke produces a broad range of speciality flours and baking products, but the philosophy behind the business remains wonderfully simple: great baking starts with great grain and great flour.

We couldn't agree more.

The flour behind our garlic bread

We don't bake our bread rolls ourselves but we care very much about the ingredients that go into the food we serve.

The bread we use for our Garlic Bread is made using Laucke Flour.

Then we take over.

We add real butter, garlic and herbs to create the golden, buttery garlic bread you'll find in The Family Cook kitchen.

It's simple food and that's precisely why the ingredients matter.

When there aren't dozens of things competing for attention, you can taste the difference that good ingredients make.

Celebrating what's grown and made close to home

Laucke's story is another reminder of just how much food history and expertise we have right here in South Australia.

Our state is home to farmers, growers, millers, bakers and food producers who have spent generations perfecting what they do.

We think that's something worth supporting and celebrating.

Our Hero Ingredient Series is our way of introducing you to some of those people and businesses.

Because behind even the simplest things on your plate, right down to a piece of warm, buttery garlic bread, there's a story.

And we're proud when that story begins right here in South Australia.
