It's the Scottish Festival of Real Bread featuring the Scottish Bread Championship on Saturday, so you're not leaving without some podium-worthy loaves, right? We've got you covered with our communal bread stall, packed with some of the best Real Bread Scotland has to offer. Introducing:
Company Bakery : Long-time Scotland The Bread supporters and all round good guys, Company were founded in Edinburgh in 2017. They have a shop in Musselburgh and sell wholesale while making no compromises on quality or ingredients. Many time Scottish Bread Championship winner including multiple Supreme Champion!
: Also repeat Supreme Champion, baker and founder John Castley's Wild Hearth bakes from a reconditioned World War Two Nissen hut housing a state-of-the-art oven, fired exclusively with waste wood from timber milling. The Comrie bakery uses organic flour and wild starters.
XOKO : The name xoko (pronounced 'shaw-ko') comes from the ancient Nahuatl language in Mexico and means 'the village where the bitter fruit grows'. It is thought this is the origin of the word chocolate. XOKO is the dream and concept of Fernando Basaldua Bazaldua and Tristan Aitchison. Fernando, who is from Mexico, has a passion for baking and pastry. He has worked across Latin America and Spain, and now you can try his loaves and catch him demonstrating his Mexican bread in our demo area!
Sunrise Bakehouse : find this family-owned artisan bakery on Burntisland high street - they specialise in (Championship award-winning) sourdough bread and pastries. Sunrise is a local landmark, with queues out the door at peak times!
: Scottish baking legends, Mhor Bread is on a site that has been a bakehouse for over 100 years. The Lewises - owners of Monachyle Mhor hotel in Balquhidder – bought it in 2007. They make traditional handmade bread every day, keeping things simple using only Scottish-milled flour, water, and salt, plus a slow-fermentation process for their sourdough. We'd like to say an ⭐ extra special ⭐ thank you to Mhor as they are actually donating their bread to support our work and the Festival 🤗🫶!
