ALL NATURAL bread is completely natural, made in the traditional way: no colours, flavourings, emulsifiers, preservatives or other so-called bread “improvers”. Our sourdough breads are made with our own sourdough starters which we have been using for many years. All doughs are mixed at low speed, handled as little as possible and are allowed to rise slowly in order to develop maximum flavour.The different doughs are mixed separately in their own drum to prevent contamination with gluten (Eureka Gluten Free) or wheat (100% Rye).

ALL NATURAL bread is packaged in special FRESHNESS BAGS which keep the bread fresh for longer.

CERTIFIED ORGANIC. Delivered Tuesdays.

Pre-orders taken in the shop or by phone.
