“Sourdough Rye - wrap in foil, warm in oven, serve hot with extra virgin olive oil and a dash of tamari - absolutely delicious”, Mike Abrahams, Owner Wild Oats

“For those used to rye being a ‘hair shirt’ experience, this rye is a revelation. Wonderfully moist with a ‘crumpety’ texture. So many customers tell me they have never tasted better soughdough rye than this”, Fine Cheese Co

“A delicious real rye loaf, properly dense but not too heavy! Fantastic with cream cheese and either Pastrami or Irish Smoked Salmon”, Iain at Chandos Deli

“My daughter has a wheat allergy but says this is the best thing since the days of ‘sliced bread’ (which she hasn’t eaten for several years!). Toasted is fantastic. Delighted to find this bread”,Robert Craven, Director Centre

This bread is a bone-fide slow food and throughout the process the dough is incredibly slowly and gently risen. The process involved in the edible alchemy of these three ingredients is a tightly guarded secret.

PROCESSED YEAST, WHEAT, and DAIRY FREE.

SPECIFICATION & NUTRITION

Light Rye Sourdough will keep well for up to a week in a cool dry place, it also freezes really well: a bread bin is ideal.

Whilst being a first choice for people who are unable to eat wheat or yeast, Light Rye Sourdough is so much more than a medicinal or prescription loaf. It toasts like a beautiful crumpet, and the butter melting into it would get even Clarissa Dickson Wright’s knickers in a twist.

Also, be sure ALWAYS to have a couple of these loaves on standby. Whenever more than half a dozen or so people are eating together, you can be sure that someone in the party will be chuffed-to-bits that you are able to cater for their dietary needs in this way.

Twice voted ORGANIC LOAF OF THE YEAR in 2001 and 2002; and commended in 2003
