ABOUT

La Houlette De Vie translates to “The Staff of Life”, a phrase that makes reference to bread’s role as an important diet staple. This bread will fill you up for hours with nutrients that aren’t found in bread that has been mass produced.

All La Houlette De Vie doughs are naturally fermented and simply made with flour, water, sourdough, and salt. This is a process that can take up to 24 hours from start to finish.

The flour for La Houlette De Vie breads comes from: Orchard Hill Farm, Meunerie Milanaise
