Storage Instructions
Allow us to say this again – we don’t put any chemical preservatives in our bread. Basically, we don’t need to, because our breads are made to order and are shipped directly to you, within a few hours of baking and slicing. We don’t need to provision for several days of sitting in the back of a truck or the shelf of a store.
The moment a bread comes out of the oven, the shelf life clock starts ticking. You can make the clock go slower by doing the following:
1. At the very least, keep it in an airtight container is a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. A bread box with ventilation is an excellent option for storing bread. It provides just the right environment to maintain bread freshness.
2. Refrigerate – You can increase the life of a bread by a factor of 3 times if you refrigerate it, although we’ll be the first one to admit that a refrigerated bread is not quite the same as the one that is fresh out of the oven. All the reason to gobble up the whole loaf the moment you receive it!
3. Freeze it – yes, you heard right! Put the bread in the freezer and it is good for several weeks, if not a month or two!

Nutritional Value
Whole wheat sourdough bread combines the nutritional benefits of both whole wheat and sourdough fermentation. Sourdough fermentation breaks down gluten and phytic acid, making it easier for some people to digest and absorb nutrients. The combination of whole wheat and sourdough fermentation leads to a lower glycemic index compared to some other bread types, helping stabilize blood sugar levels.
