Sourdough Bread
“Good things take time” and that is particularly true for sourdough! The sourdough-making process takes a couple of days from when we first mix the ingredients (flour, water, salt and sourdough starter) to the finished loaf.
Properly fermented sourdough bread has a moist crumb with lots of uneven holes, a caramelised crunchy crust and this typical sourness that makes it so palatable.

Organic Wholewheat Sourdough
$12.50
Meet our new Organic Wholewheat Sourdough, a loaf we're very proud of!
It's made with 100% organic whole wheat flour, stone milled, naturally fermented and baked for a deep, nutty flavour. It has a good crust, a soft crumb and a lovely chew.
The flour comes from organic farming pioneers Milmore Downs, an hour and a half up the road in North Canterbury. We use their flour across our whole sourdough range, but this loaf lets the grain take centre stage. We haven't found anything quite like it in the organic market.
Use it for sandwiches, serve it with your eggs or spread it with jam. It goes with just about everything.
- Ingredients
- organic whole wheat flour, water, sea salt, organic muscovado sugar
- Allergens
- Contains wheat (gluten).
May contain traces of sesame seeds and walnuts.

Seeded Sourdough
Price range: $10.00 through $14.50
This delicious seeded sourdough loaf combines texture, aroma and a nutty flavour with a crunchy crust. Our most popular loaf, it tends to sell out every day. If seeds are your thing, you will enjoy this loaf packed with sesame, linseed and sunflower seeds.
We soak the linseed and sunflower seeds overnight to improve their digestibility and enhance their nutritional value, and prepare the dough from a mixture of white and whole wheat flour. This results in a loaf with a soft crumb and chewy crust.
- Ingredients
- White flour, organic whole wheat flour, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, linseeds, water, sea salt
- Allergens
- Contains wheat (gluten) and sesame seeds.
May contain traces of walnuts.

Rye Sourdough
$11.00
Our traditional rye sourdough is made with 100% organic wholemeal rye flour grown in North Canterbury. It has a wonderful rich, nutty flavour and deep colour.

For the same reason, some people find it easier to digest than white bread.

- Organic wholemeal rye flour, water, sea salt
- Allergens
- Contains rye (gluten).
May contain traces of sesame seeds, walnuts and soy.
