Up Strawberry Hill in the little market town of Newent, Gloucestershire is the award-winning Authentic Bread Company, a place where bread is made like it should be – with good-quality organic flour, yeast, salt and water. “None of our bread products contain improvers or additives, and, as always, we strive to provide products that are both organic and of high quality,” says Authentic’s founder Alan Davis. “For us, taste rather than cost is paramount!” You can taste the difference! “Every item is hand-baked from the finest organic ingredients and all are suitable for vegetarians. With the exception of our Calzone, Country Pasty and the Walnut and Cheese bread, all products are suitable for vegans,” he notes.
