Welcome to Aripeka Sourdough Bread!
Life's simpler pleasures truly are the best, and a simple loaf of artisan sourdough is one of those pleasures. It's real bread, handmade and leavened naturally with the natural goodness and yeasts already contained in the wheat berry itself. Made with unbleached, un-bromated flour, fresh ground whole wheat, it tastes better, lasts longer and has the texture, body and character absent in modern, factory produced bread.
Eating sourdough
Eating the day it is baked is best, but the sourdough process creates a very resilient bread that outlasts ordinary bread. Heating the loaf or slices in a very low oven for a few minutes restores it, as does toasting or grilling.
Ripping off chunks provides the nooks and crannies and surface area for holding butter or olive oil or other toppings.
A serrated bread knife is safer and essential for slicing.
