Item Description

Seven Stars is known for their delicious breads and laminated pastries.  All of their breads are made with four ingredients: flour, water, salt and yeast or sourdough starter. To those ingredients we add nuts, raisins, cheese, olives—but never preservatives.

They use unbleached, untreated all purpose flour for most of their breads. This flour is unique in that, unlike most other white flours, it is processed gently at the mill, keeping most of the nutrients naturally found in flour. Enriched or treated flour needs these nutrients re-introduced in the milling process. The whole wheat flour, rye flour and all of their whole grains are organic. They use whole fresh eggs, high butterfat (83%) butter and all natural ingredients in all of our pastries. They never use mixes or pre-made anything.

Their long fermentation process helps to act as a preservative to extend the shelf life a bit. Have you ever noticed how some “freshly baked” loaves you buy at the grocery store are rock hard and stale by nightfall? This is because they use lots of yeast and shorten the fermentation times for quick production time. This results in flavorless bread with a very short (sometimes only hours) shelf life.
