Ardent Mills rye chops - actual chops

Just in case anyone is interested, a long time ago I queried Ardent Mills if indeed what they're calling rye chops are rye chops, and not cracked rye (Baker's Authority misstates they are the same; nevertheless, they sell Ardent Mills rye chops, iirc).

Heard back from Ardent Mills, they are indeed chops.

That's good to know. I wonder if the 5 lb. rye chops package from Bakers Authority is repackaged Ardent Mills rye chops. Are the chops also bolted?

The Janie's Mill chops I have are probably stone-ground (cracked?). They have also been bolted.

I don't know if anyone will repackage the Bay State Milling rye meals now that NY Bakers has discontinued the small packs of BSM meals. My supply will run out within the year.😢

Yeah, I don't know.  I'll ask them

And agree, bummer on TRB shutting down retail.  Given your recent pickup on KA's "medium" rye, options seem even slimmer.
