Infinity Sourdough

Taste

Those who know me will know that I looovve bread, especially sourdough. I can eat plain sourdough for a week. My latest find is the French Levain (mother/starter on French) Bread ($4.50) from Infinity. The outside has a charcoaled flavour, the inside has a "real" bread texture, none of that supermarket cardboard stuff. You can smell the intense aroma straight away. And just like good bread should be, it has a taste of its own.

I also tried the Olive Sourdough ($6.50). This one was even better, the salty sweetness of the fat juicy olives matched well with the slight nuttiness.

My new favourite is the Potato ($5.75), a purple-ish colour, with bits of walnuts adding crunch, a more crumbly texture,and that unmistakable sourdough taste.

Look

The outside was a golden brown, the inside a very light brownish hue. No bleaching of any kind here.

The olive bread had just the right amount of olives, and was suitably darker.

Rating - 2.5

C-factor

$4.50 might seem steep, but it compares favourably with other boutique breads and is actually excellent value for a huge loaf. Harris Farm only charged us $4 for the olive one too, bonus!
