ACE Bakery opened in 1993 as an artisan bakery creating hand-made European style, rustic breads. The gentle shaping of each loaf, long fermentation periods and a stone deck oven all work to create exceptionally flavourful products with a chewy, moist texture and crisp crust. The breads contain no preservatives and are made with the finest ingredients. ACE Bakery sells bread to hundreds of Ontario's finest restaurants, hotels, caterers and gourmet food shops as well as grocery outlets in Ontario, Quebec, upstate New York and Michigan. In 2003, ACE Bakery proudly celebrated ten years of baking superior artisan breads. ACE donates ten percent of its pre-tax profits to local charitable organizations in centres where ACE breads are sold, with a focus on food and nutrition programs to assist low-income members of the community, financing culinary scholarships, and supporting organic farming initiatives.
