Services
The Wood family runs Country Style - a modern craft bakery company that works closely with leading retailers and food service operators. The Woods have been involved in the flour milling and bakery trades for over 150 years and since 1960 have seen the business grow from a single bread shop to several large industrial sites specialising in high volume production of quality bakery goods.
Country Style celebrates 60 years of family baking this year. Tony and Christine Wood founded the business in 1961 and have never stopped since, not even for their wedding day. The baguettes in this newspaper photograph were specially baked on the wedding morning so that friends and family could create a commemorative "Guard of Honour" out of bread.
Two indispensable factors allow us to make our classic artisan breads on a large scale. First is the use of our own levain in place of commercial yeast and the second is our huge stonebake oven, made with granite slabs. Ancient Egyptians knew that stones on the floor of the oven, once brought up to temperature were ideal for rapidly penetrating the dough, forming a gorgeous crust and developing the flavour intensity.
Country Style is proud to belong to these organisations and our colleagues are pleased to participate in and contribute to each of them. The CBA provides craft and artisan bakers with support, training and networking opportunities throughout the UK. Campden BRI offers scientific, technical, regulatory and information support for the food and drink industry.
