Bristol Farms All Natural Multi-Grain Sourdough BreadEverything Matters!

All Natural

No Preservatives

No Additives

Like fine wine, the ingredients that come together to create Bristol’s Own All Natural Sourdough Breads are aged each to their specific perfection…because everything matters when our bakers are creating these delicious old world artisan breads.

Authentic sourdough baked using only the age old methods handed down century after century by master bakers. The sourdough process begins with wild yeast spores and ends thirty hours later with fresh savory baked breads. The flavor delicately rolls over your palate and is extremely pleasing; this is the way nature intended sourdough to be. Our cheeses are well aged to bring out the best flavors…mother nature can never be rushed. The highest protein flours are used to bring out the best flavor bread is capable of. Close you’re eyes and walk through beautiful rolling fields of gold as you’re enjoying our breads!

Enjoy Bristol’s Own’s All Natural Sourdough Breads sliced by themselves right out of the package. Or create your own wonderfully enjoyable deli sandwich, spread some jam, butter, or cream cheese on them after a toasting. Your home will smell like a wholesome fresh bakery and your taste buds will explode with happiness. Wonderful for the senses. Or even bring new life to your soups, hors d’oeuvres with any of these savory treasures.  However you “savor” these unique sourdough breads, remember, there is timeless perfection  in every delectable bite! To the bakers at Bristol Farms everything does matter, and that makes our sourdough breads simply the best!

Stop by your local Bristol Farms and try our All Natural Sourdough Breads today!  Available in four varieties: Classic, Multi-Grain, Four Cheese, and Tomato Basil.  Each have a unique flavor and taste and all are extraordinary!

Valentine’s Day Treats from our Bakery

Valentine's StrawberriesValentine’s Day…. If you’re anything like me, you never let a day go by without expressing your love and appreciation for the people that mean the most to you. But once a year we get to lavish our sweeties with bonus accolades….and how sweet those ‘bonuses’ can be.

Valentine’s Day is such a fun time of year for the Bakery. You’ll find tons of red & pink adorning our shelves, hearts a plenty and chocolate galore. Who doesn’t love to get, or give for that matter, something sweet to their Valentine? While I promise you will have plenty of yummy treats to choose from, I wanted to share a couple of my favorites with you.

Fortunately for me, my husband is a sweets guy; loves anything chocolate. His favorite is our Signature Homemade Texas Chocolate Cake. Just for Valentines Day, our Bakeries sell this yummy cake in a heart shape. I’m going to serve it on a red plate accompanied by two of our beautiful Chocolate Dipped Long Stem Strawberries…one of my favorites! My kids, on the other hand, love classics; message hearts & homemade Valentines from their classmates usually make their day. This year I’m going to enlist the talents of Cake Decorators and order 6 Message Heart cupcakes. You know, “Luv You”, “Be Mine”, “Call Me”…. it is 2011, I guess a “text me”!!

I hope you all have a very happy and sweet Valentine’s Day.
