Sourdough Delivered in Israel

Fresh sourdough loaves from Jerusalem-area bakers, delivered the day they are baked — as a gift or a standing order.

About Sourdough Delivered in Israel

Sourdough is the one baked good where the delivery date is the product. A loaf is at its best on the day, good on the second and firewood by the fourth, so buying it from a local baker who delivers that morning is not a nicety — it is the only way it works. The bakers here schedule around that, and the slots you can choose at checkout come from their bake times.

As a gift it suits people who cook: a housewarming, a thank you to a host, a Friday order for a family who would rather have real bread than a supermarket challah. It also appears on sourdough boards, if you want it arranged with dips and spreads rather than sent as a loaf.
