La Madre Bakery - goodness here

Wasteful Minds...

Many discussions of late about the sustainable features that we have implemented at La Madre Bakery have eventually reverted back to talk of food waste and the impact it has on our planet. Recently at a sustainability seminar at The Gordon, Anna burst the eardrums of those willing to listen about being smarter about the way we shop. Buy small, buy more often and buy local she said. And, in the Geelong Advertiser last year, she recalled the benefits of not having your fridge bursting with fresh produce making dinner making decisions overwhelming and increasing the risk of spoilage. Plus, there was that Boxing Day leftovers fritatta recipe in the Sunday Herald Sun a couple of years back...

La Madre Bakery is an artisan sourdough producer based in Geelong, Victoria. Our skilled bakers use simple methods and considered techniques to produce a fantabulous range of hand made sourdough, rye sourdough, 100% spelt sourdough, traditional breads and seasonal sweet treats.

So what is Geelong's La Madre all about?

Time is precious, so at La Madre we like to slow things down a bit. We use traditional baking techniques – including a gradual fermentation – and scour the land for the finest ingredients. Each loaf is individually crafted in the bakers’ hands, plus we say no to preservatives, improvers and additives. La Madre is also passionately committed to sustainable baking and business practices.

	7 Grain Wholewheat



	Chockablock full of grainy goodness gracious, La Madre's 7 grain wholewheat sourdough has...wait for it...seven grains! An earthy line up of wheat, rye, sunflower seeds, kibbled maize, linseeds, soya and sesame seeds combined with our new wholewheat sourdough leaven make this a star performer for your autumn menu. Wholewheat is milled wheatberry - a delicious morsel of super goodness that is the entire wheat kernel. For those plant nerds among us (hands are up here), that means the bran, germ and endosperm but not the husk. What does that mean for the non-plant nerd? As nothing is lost in the milling process the flour is brown in colour and the nutritional content is rock solid. And because it is a lovingly made La Madre loaf, you can expect our signature taste to boot. Roll on autumn and your beautiful colours as La Madre's 7 Grain Wholewheat is made for the season. And it matches it too!
