La Brea Bakery’s Holiday Breads Have Arrived: Golden Fig Loaf And Gingerspice Round

Los Angeles, CA – La Brea Bakery, the nation’s most preferred artisan bread brand, will launch two delectable varieties for the holiday season: the Golden Fig Loaf and Gingerspice Round. Created to celebrate the best of the season’s ingredients, the breads provide the perfect complement to any holiday meal.

La Brea Bakery’s all-natural artisan loaves have built a brand synonymous with quality, craftsmanship, and authenticity. Their culinary team takes great care in sourcing ingredients that will be at the peak of freshness for each special edition bread recipe. These exclusive breads are then introduced in addition to the large variety of artisan breads offered by La Brea Bakery as a wonderful treat that customers look forward to every season.

“The holiday breads are a perfect way to use delicate, seasonal ingredients and offer our customers a unique new way to present our bread on their tables,” says Jon Davis, vice president of culinary development. “We're especially excited to introduce Golden Fig and Gingerspice this year and hope that they will inspire holiday menus and creativity in the kitchen.”

The Golden Fig Loaf, available through December, is made with sweet amber honey and delicious golden figs. Served as a table bread, it will infuse the flavors of fall into every meal. It also makes a scrumptious bread pudding topped with caramel sauce and freshly whipped cream.

Swirling with clove, nutmeg, brown sugar and cinnamon, the Gingerspice Round is a festive addition to any holiday meal. With its spicy and sweet notes, this full flavored bread is great to warm up to with a steamy latte in hand. The Gingerspice Round will launch in October.

“Consumer outreach demonstrates that La Brea Bakery’s brand consistently ranks highest amongst shoppers looking for artisan bread for special occasions,” says Katie Kelsey, director of marketing. “This program is a great way for us to provide an experience to shoppers looking for that special touch to their meals during the holiday season.”

Holiday breads are available at the grocers’ in-store bakery through January 2011 where La Brea Bakery’s renowned artisan breads are sold. Visit www.labreabakery.com for store locations and more information. To publish photos, please send requests to kbrucker(at)labreabakery(dot)com.
