1. What makes Blue Gourmet bread “artisan”?

Artisan bread is handcrafted using traditional methods, slow fermentation, high-quality ingredients, and no shortcuts. At Blue Gourmet, every loaf is created with time, technique, and expertise — never mass-produced or rushed.

2. Why is slow fermentation important?

Slow fermentation allows flavors to fully develop and creates better texture, aroma, and digestibility. This process also improves shelf life naturally without the need for preservatives.

3. Do you use preservatives or artificial additives?

No. Blue Gourmet products are made with clean, simple ingredients. We rely on time-honored techniques — not chemicals — to achieve great flavor and texture.

4. What kinds of breads do you offer wholesale?

We provide a wide variety, including:

• Sourdough loaves

• Baguettes

• Ciabatta

• Specialty grain breads

• Brioche

• Sandwich loaves

• Rolls and buns
  Custom recipes and signature items are available for wholesale partners.

5. What types of batters and pastries do you sell?

Our wholesale selection includes:

• Muffin batters

• Waffle batters

• Scone dough

• Croissants

• Danishes

• Cinnamon rolls

• Seasonal pastries
  Many are available ready-to-bake or ready-to-use for kitchen efficiency.

6. Do you offer custom recipes for restaurants, hotels, and cafés?

Yes. We work closely with wholesale clients to develop signature breads and pastries that match their menu, flavor profile, and brand identity.

7. How does your wholesale program work?

We offer weekly or custom delivery schedules, consistent production quality, and flexible order volumes. New clients can request samples before committing.

8. Do you sell to the public or only wholesale?

Blue Gourmet primarily serves wholesale buyers (restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, caterers, and retailers). However, we may offer retail items through partner stores or seasonal events.

9. Where do you source your ingredients?

We prioritize local and high-quality suppliers, including specialty flours, European-style butter, and clean dairy. Our goal is to support regional farms while ensuring exceptional taste and consistency.

10. Do your breads freeze well?

Yes. Our loaves and pastries are crafted with techniques that maintain flavor and structure after freezing. This makes them ideal for inventory planning in commercial kitchens.

11. Are your products available par-baked or ready-to-bake?

Absolutely. Many of our breads and pastries come:

• Fully baked

• Scoop and Bake batters
  This helps kitchens reduce labor while offering fresh, high-quality baked goods.

12. What is the difference between sourdough and yeast-risen bread?

Sourdough uses natural wild yeast and beneficial bacteria, resulting in deeper flavor and better digestion. Commercial yeast breads rise faster and have a milder flavor. We offer both depending on your needs.

13. Why do artisan breads have a thicker crust?

The crust forms when dough is baked at high heat with proper steam. It protects moisture inside the loaf, boosts flavor, and creates the iconic “artisan crunch.”

14. What sets Blue Gourmet apart from other wholesale bakeries?

• Traditional baking craftsmanship

• Premium ingredients

• Custom recipe development

• Consistent supply and delivery

• Clean label commitment

We create products that elevate your menu, not just fill it.

15. Can you handle large commercial orders?

Yes — while our breads are artisan, our production capacity is built for wholesale consistency and volume. Many of our clients include large hotels, restaurants, and coffee chains.
