Sliced Sourdough, Done Properly

There’s a time for tearing into a fresh loaf.
And there’s a time when you just need good bread, ready to go.

Our sliced range brings together four of our most popular loaves – San Francisco, Volare Grain, Pain au Levain, and Ciabatta – now pre-sliced and bagged for everyday use. Same doughs, same process, just a little more practical.

If you’re choosing between them, here’s what you need to know.

San Francisco Sourdough (Sliced)

This is the one most people know us for.

A classic white sourdough with a mild tang, open crumb, and thin, crisp crust. It’s balanced, versatile, and does just about everything well.

Best for:

  • Toast with butter or jam
  • Sandwiches that need structure without heaviness
  • Eggs, avocado, anything simple

The fermentation gives it flavour without overpowering the topping. It’s soft enough to bite through, but still holds its shape.

Volare sliced Grain loaf and cross-section of a slice.

Volare Grain (Sliced)

Heavier, darker, and packed with soaked grains and seeds.

This is your everyday loaf if you want something more substantial – full flavour, good texture, and keeps well.

Best for:

  • Sandwiches that need to stay filling
  • Lunchboxes
  • Toast with savoury toppings

We soak the grains before mixing, which softens them and brings out their flavour. The result is a loaf that’s hearty without being dense.

Sliced Pain au Levain loaf next to a cross-section of a single slice.

Pain au Levain (Sliced)

A more traditional sourdough – slightly tangier, a bit more chew, and a deeper crust.

If you like your sourdough with more character, this is the one.

Best for:

  • Cheese, charcuterie, and richer toppings
  • Toast where you want a bit more bite
  • Simple meals built around good bread

Long fermentation develops a deeper flavour profile. It’s still versatile, just a little more pronounced.

Sliced Ciabatta loaf next to a cross-section of a single slice.

Ciabatta (Sliced)

Light, airy, and open.

Ciabatta is all about texture — large holes, soft interior, and a thin crust that crisps up quickly.

Best for:

  • Toasted sandwiches
  • Paninis
  • Dipping in oil or alongside meals

The high hydration dough creates that open crumb. When toasted, it crisps on the outside while staying soft inside.
