Our Forest Loaf is a wholesome, rustic bread made from a blend of high-quality ingredients that deliver a rich, hearty flavor. Crafted with care, we use a combination of wheat flour, Bavarian flour to create the perfect foundation for this delicious loaf. The addition of local cashew nuts and raisins gives it a satisfying crunch and a natural sweetness, making every bite a delightful balance of textures and tastes. Topped off with Bali sea salt, our Forest Loaf is a true artisanal bread that brings together local and international ingredients for a unique, flavor-packed experience.
The secret to the depth of flavor lies in the Bavarian flour, which adds a subtle, earthy note reminiscent of traditional European bread-making techniques. This, combined with the nuttiness of cashews and the sweetness of raisins, creates a perfect harmony of savory and sweet. The raisins add little pockets of natural sweetness that contrast beautifully with the rich, nutty flavors of the cashews, making this bread ideal for both savory and sweet pairings.
This Forest Loaf is vegan and incredibly versatile. It’s perfect for breakfast, lightly toasted with butter, raw honey, or jam, or as a base for hearty sandwiches filled with cheese, meats, or fresh vegetables. Its dense, chewy texture also makes it excellent for dipping in soups or stews, and it pairs wonderfully with cheeses, spreads, and dips.
Whether you’re enjoying it as part of a meal or on its own, our Forest Loaf brings the best of nature’s ingredients together in every slice, offering a satisfying, wholesome bread that’s perfect for any occasion. It’s a loaf made for those who appreciate the beauty of simplicity and the richness of natural flavors.
