Last weekend saw the official launch of wholesale online bread company Bread Du Jour at the Speciality and Fine Foods fair.

Bread Du Jour specialises in Artisan long life bake-off breads, and won silver at the World Bread Awards 2013.

The range features over 20 varieties of bread, and each have an ambient shelf life of 14 days – making them ideal for businesses wanting to save space, as there is no need to store the loaves in freezers and stock can be kept out as display.

The handcrafted breads are baked using traditional slow bakery processes and an original aged sourdough, making them full of flavour. Consumers can then bake-off the loaves in any type of oven.

Garden centres can maximise their product availability as orders are placed on a ‘pick and mix’ basis, rather than boxes – they can order the exact desired amount of any variety of loaves.

“We’re not selling boxes, we’re selling loaves,” said Kevin Bennett, Bread Du Jour Director. “We bake our bread fresh to order, and businesses ordering the exact amount they desire means less waste and a more diverse range.”
