What made us tick Organic?
Maybe I should start with a story!
Once upon a time when I was just a seven
years old boy back in Germay, my mum sent me off to the grocery
store to buy milk.
When I went there I
didn't know what I was looking for so I had to
ask, as we normally got our milk
fresh from the farmer in milk cans!
These
things haunted me down in my apprenticeship. Food from scratch was the only way,
no premix, no little helpers and no
colours.
Many years later in 1989 I came
to Australia and I'm still a strong believer
that the basic foods are the best for us not
genetically changed.
Now having my own
shop I still love to stick to my basic food which is
the best.
So we buy the best produce you
can buy - all Australian!
All our flour is
freshly stone ground with the highest
organic ranking so that as many nutrients
stay in there as possible.
Due to my old
fashioned beliefs I also bake the old fashioned
way. That means I use starter doughs and
sour doughs which means early starts like
10.00 pm. We bake on a stone sole oven
which gives the bread a nice flavour.
We
continually strive to improve and we also try to have
healthy treats for our Gluten intolerant customers - like using organic brown rice flour etc.
My commitment to good food is very
strong and I believe to tell people the
truth - That means if I sell sour dough it is
sour dough and if it is only a semi sour I
say so as well.
It is very confusing for
customerts today due to "sour dough
extract" which can be added to the dough
to give it that sour dough taste which
means people are being cheated when they pay
for a sour dough and get a white loaf
which sour dough flavour.
In our bakery you get what you see!
