Storage & Shelf-Life
I supply all produce in simple brown paper bags, avoiding single-use plastic and allowing easy recycling or composting.
The bags are sufficient at keeping the bread happy for delivery and consumption within a couple of days, but will not keep it fresh for much longer. I suggest a bread bin and/or reusable bag at home if you tend to keep the bread going for longer.
Another idea if you buy a few at a time is to throw one straight in the freezer to defrost at a later date. It will be pretty fresh once thawed.
As proper sourdough, developed over at least 24 hours and given a good baking, this bread lasts quite well, but is of course best fresh. The below summarises my experience:
Day 1 - Excellent and difficult not see away the entire loaf straight away.
Day 2 - Still great, with the flavours having developed a little more.
Day 3 - Not as fresh now but still good, especially toasted, and at least easier to slice by now.
Day 4/5 - Your loaf will now be flattening as it dries out. I would suggest toasting or grilling with a splash of water now to get some life back into your slice.
Day 6/7 - Get your next order in!
