A "Revolutionary" Treasure


The best kept American culinary secret may just be of a small village flour mill which began 66 years before America was even founded.

Great Valley Mills' products have been used by George Washington and his troops, in many White House administrations, by famous chefs and have appeared in numerous cookbooks and gourmet magazines. Over the years, this country mill has offered a mouth-watering array of bread, muffin, pancake and waffle mixes which Food & Wine magazine has described as being "of impeccable quality."

It's no wonder then that George Washington, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Averell Harriman and Albert Schweitzer are all said to have enjoyed the distinctive taste of the company's delectable edibles, and culinary greats Julia Childs and James Beard have included Great Valley products in many recipes and newspaper columns.

After almost 15 generations, the company is owned and operated by Steve and Susan Kantoor, a couple who work hard to preserve the old-fashioned, traditional ways which can be hard to find in this fast-paced world.

Never compromising quality, the Kantoors explain, "We believe that natural, healthy and ultimate flavor can only be produced from a deep-rooted commitment to the Great Valley Mill tradition. When we make a promise, we keep it."

The couple contend that the waffle and pancake mixes you find on supermarket shelves cannot possibly compare to their chunky pecan, almond and buttermilk mixes. The same holds true for their tomato, cracked pepper, spinach and garlic-parsley pasta flours.

The company is also famous for its spiral cut hams, hickory smoked bacon, Scotch coarse ground oatmeal, flours and grains. And has recently added a designer line of sausage to its extensive culinary array.

The most popular gourmet sausages are "Gondola," made of pepperoni and cheese; "Havana," made with Cuban spices; "Texi-can," hot and mild, tasting like a tangy chili; "Zorba" with spinach, feta cheese and bacon; and "Blue Moon" with blue cheese, bacon and chives.

Gourmet Magazine described the company's salad dressings as "Among the finest in America," additionally the Prestigious Chefs of America Association, San Francisco, awarded its all fruit spreads the highest honor, "The Gold Medal." And for years, its butters, cereals, cheeses and a variety of gift packs, all have received rave reviews from the company's greatest asset-thousands of loyal customers.
