It takes a village to keep Volare running, and these are the faces behind your favourite sourdough, pastries, pies, and deliveries. From the early-morning bakers and pastry chefs to the delivery drivers and managers making sure everything runs smoothly, this crew is the heart of our bakery.

Shelves lined with Italian tomatoes, parmesan wheels, specialty ingredients you didn’t know you needed, and daily deliveries of fresh Volare bread.

Our Fig & Walnut Sourdough is the perfect base for something a little indulgent. Try this French toast recipe, topped with layers of creamy ricotta, a quick stewed blueberry sauce, and a drizzle of honey.

Good bread doesn’t need much — just the right toppings to let it shine. With Volare Fig & Walnut Sourdough as the base, this recipe gives you crunch, creaminess, and just the right touch of sweetness.
