New Orleans based Bellegarde Bakery has opened an online retail store featuring a variety of stone-milled flours and merchandise. This wholesale bakery caters to more than 100 local restaurants and markets providing fresh bread flour.
Bellegarde prides themselves on making their bread by hand, with only the best and freshest ingredients.
“We purchase most of our grains and baking ingredients directly from the people who make them — whether that’s salt from Avery Island, olive oil from Texas Olive Ranch or our heirloom corn, which has been grown by the same family in Alabama since 1875,” said owner Graison Gills.
The company says that unlike its competitors, it mills its flour fresh to ensure that its customers receive the best products made with local ingredients, lots of nutrition and even more flavor.
Bellegarde’s new online store will carry the following products
- Organic red wheat flour
- Heirloom corn grits
- Buckwheat flour
- Durum flour
- Heirloom corn meal
- Heirloom rye flour
Bellegarde also has plans to open a storefront early in 2019 for customers to purchase freshly baked bread, sundries, jams, preserves and fresh pasta. The new location will also host baking classes and pizza nights. Owner Graison Gills hopes to expand the menu before the end of 2019.
