Why Real Bagels Made the Switch to Wholegrain Milling Co.
At Real Bagels, we’ve always done things the long way.
Hand-rolled. Boiled. Baked. No shortcuts.
That’s how you make a proper bagel — chewy, golden, and full of character.
Now we’ve taken that same philosophy back to the very beginning: the flour.
Why We Went Organic
When you spend your mornings shaping and boiling hundreds of bagels, you start to realise that everything comes down to the grain. The smell. The texture. The way it hydrates, stretches, and bakes.
We wanted flour that felt alive — not just processed powder.
So we made the call: from now on, every single bagel we bake will be made using Wholegrain Milling Co.’s Organic Premium White Bakers Flour.
It’s grown by Australian farmers who care about the soil beneath their feet. It’s stone and roll milled slowly in Gunnedah, NSW, to protect the flavour and integrity of the grain. And it’s certified organic — no synthetic fertilisers, no chemicals, no shortcuts.
It’s clean, strong, and full of life — just how a bagel should be.
About Wholegrain Milling Co.
Wholegrain Milling Co. is an Australian family business with deep roots in sustainable, regenerative agriculture. They’ve been milling grain since 1978, using traditional stone mills powered by renewable energy.
Their Organic Premium White Bakers Flour is a favourite among artisan bakers across Australia — made for bread, bagels, and sourdoughs that need strength and flavour.
It’s not just flour. It’s a philosophy — one that starts in healthy soil and ends in the kind of food that makes people feel good.
From Soil to Bagel
Every bagel we make now begins with certified organic grain.
Grown cleanly, milled gently, baked honestly.
You can taste it — a subtle sweetness, a deeper aroma, and that perfect balance between chew and crust.
Nothing fancy. Just better.
What It Means for You
Going 100% organic is about more than ingredients. It’s about respect — for the land, for the craft, and for the people who eat our bagels.
We’re proud to be part of a community of Australian makers, growers, and millers who are doing things the right way — not the fast way.
So when you pick up a Real Bagel, know that it’s made from the good stuff.
Born in clean soil, milled with care, baked with love.
Real ingredients. Real process. Real Bagels.
