The Bruschetta bread we have introduced are large oval slices, all of the same dimension, a wonderful taste and texture that need only brushing with some extra virgin olive oil, toasted and then a topping added.
In this era of pizza, crostini, canapé’s, sandwiches etc. it seems opportune to launch this traditional bread that is easy and quick to prepare.
Lovely cut into pieces and served as a starter or even as a main course served whole. A little imagination with the variety of toppings can tantalise any mouthwatering tastebuds!
