At Borealis, we strive to make each loaf a masterpiece, an edible work of art. Our breads are phenomenal because:

  • They are naturally leavened with preferment or starter. No commercial baker’s yeast (except in the French Baguette), no preservatives. Bread the way it should be.
  • Like traditional European artisan loaves, they are baked on stone hearths in steam-injected deck ovens or in our wood-fired oven.
  • The ingredients are basic and beautiful: flour, water, salt. To these add other tasty ingredients for a variety of breads: olives, apples and cranberries, mushrooms, and much much more.
  • Each loaf is shaped by hand by a baker who takes pride in producing great bread.
  • They are moist and chewy and crusty, very very crusty.
  • Good bread takes time and we give it the time it needs. The long, slow natural leavening (12 to 16 hours) enhances the flavor and increases digestibility.
