I never thought I would order bread online because I didn’t think it would stay fresh for long. Fortunately, I was wrong. The loaves of bread offered in this gift box were fresh, moist and delicious! Even though there are only 4 of us in the house, these 4 loaves were gone long before they had a chance to get stale.
Zingerman’s offers a variety of fresh bread choices, but we wanted a sample of their most popular items so we chose the Deli Deluxe Bread Gift Box. Containing Jewish Rye, Farm Bread, Better Than San Francisco Sourdough and Pecan Raisin bread, we received a vast range in flavor from heavy and rich to light and crisp to soft and sweet. The first loaf to go was the Farm Bread, which was perfect for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! The crust was crispy, but not so much that you couldn’t bite through it easily. The next to go was the sweet Pecan Raisin – which was perfect for a quick breakfast. The Sourdough was used for grilled cheese sandwiches, and was a perfect match to tomato soup. My husband liked the rye, but the kids and I weren’t a fan of the flavor – probably because we had never experienced it before. Overall, the bread box was a hit with our family, and at $45 plus $15 shipping we will definitely order again!
