Dear Valued Customer,
At the Bakery, we continuously monitor key economic factors such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI), labour rates, and the costs of materials and utilities. In light of recent changes, we are currently reviewing our product pricing.
As you may be aware, the rising prices of a few raw ingredients—especially chocolate—have forced us to review both our prices and portion sizes.
We appreciate your continued support and understanding.
Everything we bake embodies our passion for traditional artisan methods, our respect for organic local produce and our patience-driven approach to delicious food. Our breads and pastries are hand-crafted, baked daily at sunrise and we source our stone-ground flours from local mills. Bread was one of the first foods to be shared between early civilisations and that is what we try to teach. We place bread back where it belongs—at the centre of the table from which loved ones can rip, pull, tear and above all, share.
Olivier’s Bakery is proud to use organic and local ingredients from the cold-pressed, extra-virgin 100% Italian olive oil down to the unsalted butter, artisanally made from milk sourced from pasture-fed cows in Britain. Most of our flour is organic and stone ground in Shipton, a mill in Gloucestershire dating back to medieval times. Using organic flours means every batch is different, requiring the baker’s keen and observant eye like an orchestra conductor to harmoniously pull every element together. No added gluten, no preservatives, no improvers, no rubbish.
Our bakeries, our products and the methods we employ are part of a timeless French savoir-faire, sophisticated and homely in equal measure. Our capital’s changing humidity also plays its role in the way we bake, as an act as simple as opening the bakery window can lead to a crunchier crust or a denser dough. Baking is one of the oldest art forms and we believe it requires few yet essential ingredients: flour, water, a dash of sea salt and a great deal of love and patience.
Good and beautiful bread cannot be rushed – It requires love, care and patience, principles which are inextricably kneaded into its soft, stretchy dough. Olivier believes in hiring only exceptional people behind the scenes who share his vision and passion for quality baking. We don’t compromise at Olivier’s Bakery. Our sole aim is to make our customers happy by bringing people together around a common love.
Olivier’s Bakery brings to its market stands a dazzling array of freshly baked breads, pastries and cakes, including a special range of 100 percent spelt breads and heavenly delicious brownies. Find the closest market stall to you to try them for yourself.
