Petite MarieBette

Good breads and pastries start with the best ingredientshigh-quality flour, real milk, full-fat butterand finish with time-proven methods and practices. We use a slow fermentation for our breads, resulting in better digestibility and more complex and nuanced flavors. Our Virginia Sourdough contains local flour to give it some Albemarle terroir. Our... breads are bien cuit, giving them a nice robust crust. All our breads are baked fresh daily, as we believe picking up fresh bread should be a daily routine. Simple. Honest. Ingredient-driven.
