What is the difference between your country loaf and multigrain loaf?
Our classic country loaf is a sourdough made with refined flour, offering a crisp crust and a light, airy crumb with a mild, tangy flavor. The multigrain Sourdough loaf is heartier and denser, made with whole grains and seeds, and is higher in fiber with more complex, nutty flavors.
Which bread is best for sandwiches?
Our country loaf works best for sandwiches because of its open crumb and sturdy crust, which holds fillings well without becoming soggy. For a more filling and nutritious option, the multigrain loaf is also a great choice.
Which sourdough is best for daily consumption?
For everyday use, the multigrain sourdough is ideal as it contains whole grains and seeds, providing more fiber and sustained energy. If you prefer a lighter texture, the country loaf is also perfect for daily toast and meals.
