You spend two days in the Swiss School of Milling’s lab to analyze wheat and flour, and then spend one day at our fully operational school mill to learn cleaning, conditioning and milling techniques. You will also spend a day at our Bakery Innovation Center. Get a close-up look at some of our latest milling machines to see how they work.
