Fresh sourdough bread
All our Bread is Sourdough, meaning it is naturally leavened made with just Flour, Salt and Water. We prioritise using Irish organic stone-ground flours and whole grains, which retain vital nutrients and fibre often lost in the production of white flours. By embracing whole grains we are producing a more nutritious product and a more sustainable system with less waste. We like to push the 'sour' flavour in our breads building up a savoury umami taste profile.
Some sweet things
As we use Irish stone-ground flour in our sweet things, we like to let this flour speak for itself. The ancient and heritage varieties of flour have a natural depth of flavour, with complex sweetness and nutty, earthy flavours.
Our pastries undergo a 48 hour fermentation process and are made with a Poolish and a Levain starter and Irish butter giving them a unique fermented flavour profile. We pioneered the use of salted Irish butter in our pastries where traditionally unsalted butter is used. We use local seasonal fruits and local free range eggs, organic spices and nuts and some raw cane sugar across our whole range of pastries.
Coffee please
Our coffee is roasted and supplied by Roasted Brown in Wicklow. They roast the best grade seasonal single origin coffee beans to bring out the natural sweetness of the bean highlighting its natural sweet floral and fruity notes. Roasted Brown work closely with coffee growers and importers focusing on sourcing the finest seasonal green coffees. They prioritise sustainable sourcing, and work with farmers and co-ops who are fully engaged with the coffee beans they grow. They highlight the natural and unique characteristics of each coffee's origin.
Natural wine
Our natural and organic wine selection is sourced from organic and biodynamic vineyards that share our commitment to sustainability. Natural wines are unfiltered, with none or very little sulphites added. The winemakers use ancient winemaking techniques that mirror ancient bread making practices like sourdough baking.
