PORTLAND, Ore. – Franz Bakery, the largest independent, family-owned bakery on the West Coast introduces its new Franz Classic Artisan-Style breads. Made with all natural ingredients, Franz Classic breads, including Honey Multi-Grain and Whole Grain Buttermilk, are now available where Franz products are sold in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Northern California and Montana. Franz Classic artisan-style breads are crafted in small batches with the finest natural ingredients, using slow milled premium wheat in order to capture a robust hearty flavor.

  • Honey Multi-Grain: each 120-calorie slice contains 3g of fiber, 140mg of sodium, 5g of protein and 21g of Whole Grains. MSRP: $4.39
  • Whole Grain Buttermilk: each 110-calorie slice contains 3g of fiber, 140mg of sodium, 4g of protein and 22g of Whole Grains. MSRP: $4.39

Because Franz Classic artisan breads are hand-crafted by the skilled bakers at Franz Bakery, the proofing process is slowed down to allow the bread to develop a unique flavor and texture.

"We realize that most consumers don't have the time to bake bread from scratch," said Marc Albers, president of Franz Family Bakeries. "That is why we asked our bakers to come up with a unique line of classic, artisan-style breads for time-starved shoppers who want a delicious and hand crafted product"
