Schar Multigrain Bread, 14.10 Loaf (Pack of 3)

LOVE THE PACKAGING EACH LOAF INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED.TASTES GREAT

This is the best gluten free bread I've found.

Good.

I loved that I had options to buy this bread in bulk. The bread is pricier than "standard" multigrain bread, but it's very filling, and it doesn't contain a bunch of ingredients I can't pronounce. This bread is dense, but I like that. I like toasting it to eat with jam; soaking it in milk, egg, vanilla, and cinnamon for French toast; and it holds up great for cold or grilled sandwiches.

This bread is phenomenal (for store bought bread) even when you compare it to brands of bread that are made with wheat flour. It is a bit pricey, but you’ve got to pay to play. Every other gluten-free store bought brand I’ve tried tastes like hot cardboard or weird popcorn and I have tried quite a few. The bread is vacuum sealed inside the bag and the expiration date is on the inner bag so you can be sure there is no funny business and you’re getting (relatively) fresh bread. This bread is so good that my girlfriend who can eat gluten keeps stealing it. It’s so good that if I survive this pandemic, I would try to get a tour of the factory.I can’t attest to the shelf life of an opened package, because I normally open it and then throw it in the freezer so I don’t have to consume it in a short period of time, but the package does instruct you to refrigerate it after opening. So if you like eating your bread un-toasted, you better be prepared to eat it in the first sitting, eat it at around 40 degrees F, or look elsewhere. Speaking of which, it’s phenomenal toasted with butter and it makes decent grilled cheeses too.

Just a heads up, I would have appreciated one. I was surprised to receive such small loaves (small slices). 3 loaves for $24+, $8 per loaf. I pay that for loaves with larger slices (sandwich sized). I had purchased this in another state, same brand and flavor but a regular sized loaf. Not finding it locally, I ordered it online. Still has good flavor and consistency (I always toast my gf bread), it is just small. Based on size I would say this isn't a good value for the price.

I am celiac and have tried a great number of gluten free breads, both frozen and packaged. None of them were very good. So I decided to do without bread. I missed my sandwiches and toast and was resigned to a life without them. Then I discovered Schar's multigrain bread. Here is a product that comes close to wheat based breads in texture (moist not dry) and size (slices are about 3" x 3"). No mushy cornmeal feeling once you start chewing and it tastes ok. Plus it has a long shelf life. The ingredients are "all natural" and a partial listing includes rice starch, agave syrup, flax seeds, apple fiber, quinoa flour, psyllium seed husk, buck wheat flour, sunflower seeds, apple juice concentrate and honey. Rather singular combination of ingredients. And no chemicals or preservatives. So Schar gets my vote as the best gluten free bread I have yet tried. I think I'll go make myself a sandwich...

This bread is very hearty and has a good taste to it.
