re Farmhouse Wholemeal

published

Thank you from a coeliac for your wonderful Farmhouse Wholemeal loaf. It is the best I've found in the last 10 years of being coeliac. However, it is sometimes difficult to find in Coles and when I do I purchase two loaves and freeze them so I have ongoing fresh bread until I can locate my next supply. I noticed recently on your plastic package that you do not recommend it being frozen. Have you any information to indicate why this is so as freezing is my preferred option. I live on the NSW/Qld border and especially during coronavirus time shop only weekly. Nancy Parker

Abbotts Sensations Pumkin Sunflower Seeds And Caramelised Onion

published

I bought this bread for the first time 1 week ago and as i have just moved and freezer is very small so I thought I would need to throw away as it would be stale as there is only me however its still beautiful and fresh which is great however makes me wonder whats in it that has it stay fresh so long . Would appreciate any comments

A very nice bread, but...

published

I was looking for a better multi grain bread and found Abbots bread to be that one. The only thing I was not happy with, was not the bread itself, but the Canola oil as one of the ingredients.
Drs, are seeing an increase in Macular Degeneration of the eyes of patients who eat Canola Oil.
When farmers in Tasmania fed their cattle the plant after getting the seeds, the cattle went blind for 2 days. -This was article on the front page of our newspaper. -Sunflower or Palm would be a better substitute.
When it is changed, I will buy it again.

Abbott's Village Bakery

published

I have found that Abbott's Village Bakery bread is the best that I can buy in South Australia. Olga's is just terrible as are Tip Top and others. My Abbott's favourites are the Grainy Wholemeal, Country Grains and Farmhouse Wholemeal. However I do wish that Abbott's wouldn't experiment with new bread such as Sundried Tomato & Basil and Pumpkin, Sunflower Seed & Caramelised Onion, which are just awful. Every supermarket has these loaves left over on their shelves because they are not popular. I have tried both and I really cannot understand how this bakery continues these experiments with dreadful results! Oh, yes, too many air pockets in what would otherwise be perfect bread.

Bread quality has diminished

published

I am a bit sad that the quality of the Light Rye bread seems to have diminished, I will go on purchasing it but now the bread slices are thinner and have far more "air holes" than previously, I used to love the rather "fudgy" texture and I would never purchase any other brand. I might just have to try "Helgas"

Decline in quality

published

Our bread of choice for some time. Not any more! Air holes, misshapen slices, slices stick together when freezing, slices seem thinner. Why muck around with what was a good product?

air pockets and smaller slices abbotts white bread

published

Yes slices are smaller and sometimes have air pockets we are now looking at alternatives also noticed weight is 700g compared to wholemeal 750g I have the feeling Abbott's are being sneaky.

thinner slices

published

find this very disappointing as I used to love this bread and am quite unhappy with the new arrangement

The best flavoured grain bread.

published

The Country Grain has great flavour, texture and full of fibre and I have been toasting it in the embers of a wood stove for many years. Since the repackaging I have noticed the slices on the toasting fork appear to be smaller. I would appreciate the larger slices again.

Country Grains and lighter loaf

published

I have been buying this as preferred for a long time. I buy online delivery from Coles and it had not been on offer in my last two deliveries. I spoke to Abbotts directly and they gave a reasonable explanation. I had feared that Coles may have dropped the line in the light of the last monhh's experience. I have mentioned this in my last comments on my most recent order but I have heard nothing in response so far..Time will tell

Lighter loaf

published

Not real happy that under cover of introducing jazzy new packaging, Abbott's has sneakily (in very subdued print) reduced the weight of Country Grains from 850 to 800 grams. What a pity this outstanding product has been cheapened this way.

Good Bread Bad coloured Bag

published

Love the bread but the black colour from the Farmhouse Wholemeal bread bag comes off and leaves a black stain on my light coloured stone bench tops and is hard to remove.

Pleas make GF white or wholemeal.????

published

Please make some white or wholemeal no seeds GF. as you make the best. As many people can't eat the seeds.Tks

Love your Country Grains bread but after couple of days gets a white mould on the outside of the loaf . We live in tropical Queensland . Is this mould harmful? Still seems ok for toast

1 answer

Hi Tooster! Sorry for not responding to your interesting question sooner; I am intrigued by the white mould that appears on your "Abbott's" bread.
I lived in Rockhampton for a few years and I know how quickly the humidity can ruin foods. I kept foods such as bread and bread like products in a refrigerator in an effort to preserve them for a bit longer. I now live in western sydney (nsw) and I now keep a couple of extra loaves of "Abbott's bread in a freezer and I take a loaf out and put it in the refrigerator the day before the current loaf is finished, this allows the bread thaw slowly overnight and is still moist and fresh. I know this doesn't answer your question about white mould although in the past I have sliced off the affected areas and I have not experienced any health problems. May I suggest perhaps that you try contacting either "Abbott's" or a "Food Technologist" even a Dietician may be able to answer your query, in the meantime, it may not be wise to consume "mouldy bread" just in case it you have an intolerance to it.
Good luck and kind regards.
