Bread

Every loaf is gently mixed, lovingly hand crafted & baked with pride. We deliver daily to our retail customers and mail order is available to individual buyers. Importantly, there are no emulsifiers (preservatives) added to our bread. By using a process of vacuum packaging and gas flushing, your loaf remains fresher far longer than with regular packaging.

 

Delivery Details:

We have a $10 flat rate for shipping in NZ and a $18 Rural flat rate. All rates exclude Waiheke, Chatham and Stewart Islands

We are based in Nelson so North Island customers can expect delivery within 5 days (South Island 3 days) from the time it leaves Nelson.

For rural deliveries please allow for an extra day or two.

Leaven

All our Breads are risen with the traditional technique of Levain (Leaven) once known to all bakers before the discovery of Bakers Yeast in the mid-19th century.

Using only flour and filtered water, wild yeast cultures of much lower virulence than bakers yeast, slowly develop and impart their unique piquant flavour to our breads. This gentle process also creates lactobacilli which breaks down proteins and vitamins and makes the flour more digestible.

In addition to our quality ingredients, the time taken for our leavens to mature is a key component of the Dovedale Method. Accordingly, take the time to enjoy your loaf!

A Note on Packaging

We use Vacuum - Gas flushing to ensure our breads reach you in perfect “just baked” condition. Shelf-life is extended without the use of preservatives by keeping the bread in an oxygen-free environment.

We recommend refrigerating the bread after opening, during warmer months, to prevent spoilage.
