ACE Bakery announced today the introduction of new organic sliced breads. In a move that will broaden the bakery's offering of artisan breads, consumers can now find fresh organic sliced breads from ACE in select grocers throughout the Greater Toronto Area."Moms love our new organic sliced breads and so do their kids!" says Linda Haynes, owner of ACE Bakery. "They feel good knowing the kids are getting a healthy lunch, and the kids love eating delicious soft-crust sandwiches", Linda adds.
In response to consumer demand for healthy, organic bread products and a rising demand for whole grain products, ACE is introducing the organic sliced breads across the GTA. The new breads are made with certified organic ingredients and are available in four varieties: Multigrain, Flax, Whole Wheat, and White. All four breads provide a good source of iron and fiber. Flax bread is also an excellent source of omega 3, protein, and calcium. Available at Loblaws and other select grocers in the GTA, the organic sliced breads make perfect soft-crust sandwiches, and retail for $4.59. "Our customers expect only the highest quality ingredients and delicious flavour from ACE products, and these new breads offer just that", says Ms. Haynes.
One of North America's leading artisan bakeries, ACE Bakery's famous baguettes and artisan breads are available at hundreds of restaurants, hotels, caterers, grocery, and gourmet food shops in Ontario, Quebec, New York State, and the Midwest U.S.A. 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 light airy texture and crisp golden crust. In keeping with ACE's high quality standards, the new breads contain no added preservatives and are made using only the finest ingredients.
Community involvement is an essential part of ACE's philosophy. The company donates a percentage of its net profits to charitable organizations in the principal centers where ACE breads are sold. ACE's focus is on food and nutrition programs that assist low-income members of the community, financing culinary scholarships, and supporting organic farming initiatives.
