"I am often asked what my favorite thing in the bakery
is. Without question it is the sound, smell, and visual appeal
of a loaf of bread that is cooling after just coming out of
our hearth oven!"
- Chef Imondi

We bake all our crusty breads in our hearth deck oven, the
only one of its kind in Northwest Florida. It features three
shelves of oven space lined with masonry stone, nine feet
deep and seven feet wide, steam injected for outstanding crust
development. Individual loaves often take 48 hours to produce
thus allowing proper aging to develop outstanding flavor and
character.
All of our breads are made from scratch and we feature well
over 22 kinds throughout the year. We use all natural ingredients
including fresh sours that we feed and nurture every day!
Most of our breads contain just flour, water, salt and a little
yeast. The majority has no added fat or sugar relying only
on the addition of flavorings like olives for Greek Olive
Bread or Pesto for our Pesto Bread. Many times just the way
the bread is handled, shaped, aged and baked can give us unique
changes in taste, eye appeal, and ultimately variety.
Hearth varieties include:
Tuscan - Italian - Ciabatta - Red Pepper - Greek Olive -
German Wheat - Pesto - Jalapeno Parmesan - French Baguette and Sour Dough.
We also bake several kinds of soft varieties including:
Focaccia - Soft Dinner Rolls - Muffaletta - Bread Bowls -
Rye - Pumpernickel - Whole Wheat - Sour Dough - Cinnamon Raisin
- French Bread - Italian Hoagies
- French Pistollet.

All of our gourmet cookies are made from scratch using the
freshest and
finest ingredients available. We use fresh dairy butter, pure
cane sugars, imported chocolates, the finest nuts & fruits, and we even hand crack all the eggs we use!
|
 |
|
Because we do not use any preservatives, our cookies are
wholesome but do not have the shelf life of those often found
in supermarket, or convenience stores.
Many of the Chef's recipes are family oriented, particularly
the Italian varieties.
All cookies are carefully hand packed in attractive 2 pound
cookie tins. We try to ship them the same day we the
order unless it's a long weekend and the US Mail is not
operating. Most shipment arrive to their destination in
2 business days.

We accept orders by phone, fax, and mail.
WE ACCEPT ALL MAJOR CREDIT CARDS!
Christmas is our busiest time so we suggest you order as
far in advance as possible for Christmas week delivery! Our
cookies make a fine gift for any occasion!
