Most bakeries essentially use box mixes loaded with chemicals to extend shelf life. They also make it easy for untrained bakers to produce; simply add water, flour and yeast and voila—an hour later you have bread. We produce only artisan breads, made from scratch without fillers or stabilizers, by people skilled in what they do best. Artisan baking is more labor intensive and time consuming, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. We use pre-ferments in all of our breads (a 12-hour process) and give every dough the time it needs to rise the old-fashioned way. This process gives our bread its hearty texture, naturally savory taste and homemade goodness. And that’s something that Diacetyl Tartaric
