A good glug of top-notch olive oil, loads of meaty black olives and cloud-light ciabatta flour make this the most outstanding ciabatta you’ll find outside of Italy! Warm it, slice it and serve alongside a mountain of buttery tagliatelle!

Best stored in bread bins made out of wood or unglazed clay as metal and plastic prevent the bread from 'breathing' and encourage the growth of mould. Cotton bags or even paper bags are good provided they are stored in a cool dry place. Do not store bread in the refrigerator as this actually encourages the aging process. Our bread freezes well, but it is only worth doing if you want to store it for more than 5 days. P
