Gold Medal Flour is a prominent American brand of flour produced by General Mills, first introduced in 1880 by the Washburn-Crosby Company, a predecessor of General Mills.
The brand gained recognition after winning a gold medal at the first International Millers’ Exhibition in Cincinnati in 1880, which led to its now-familiar name. Gold Medal Flour became notable for its consistency and quality, contributing to standardized baking practices in American households and commercial bakeries.
The flour is milled primarily from hard and soft wheat, offering a range of types such as all-purpose, bread, and whole wheat flours.X
