Because our sourdough breads are naturally fermented and made without unnecessary preservatives, they typically stay fresh for up to one week when stored in the bread bag provided.
For the best quality, keep your loaf at room temperature and avoid refrigeration, as it can cause bread to dry out more quickly.
If you would like to enjoy your bread beyond the first week, freezing instructions can be found on the care label attached to each loaf.
