SMALLER LOAVES
Smaller Loaves, Greater Flexibility
Smaller loaves are gaining popularity as consumers become more mindful of food waste and portion control. Many shoppers are opting for compact bread options that better match their household size, eating habits, and health goals. This shift reflects a growing preference for freshness, reduced waste, and more intentional, balanced consumption. As a result, demand for smaller, high-quality loaves continues to rise across both retail and foodservice channels.

ARTISAN BREADS
Artisanal and Authentic
Consumers are increasingly drawn to artisan and traditionally crafted breads that offer unique flavors, textures, and a focus on quality ingredients and traditional baking methods. We use a true, handcrafted artisan process for our Ciabatta, Pretzel, Bolillo, Telera, Focaccia, and French breads and baguettes. Our artisan process makes each bread unique. Consumers who appreciate a premium eating experience will find these breads irresistible. While our frozen dough items allow you to create an artisan product and experience on-site, these baked frozen items are handcrafted at our artisan plant using time-honored baking methods that reflect true artisan tradition.
TRUE ARTISAN CIABATTA
Gonnella’s ciabattas are made with a poolish starter and cold-proofed in our special fermentation room.
With a light and airy crumb and moist interior, Gonnella Ciabatta is the perfect bread for any sandwich, any time of day.
AUTHENTIC BAVARIAN PRETZEL
Crafted in the time-honored tradition, our pretzels boast a deep brown, chewy crust, a lustrous sheen and that beloved classic German soft pretzel flavor.
Experience the perfection of our traditional Bavarian pretzel breads–from breakfast to dinner and every snack in between!
