Yes. It is true. Nana's Love is a bakery.


Did you know that true sour dough bread requires time, patience, and a lot of love? 

We do.

We spend over 60 hours making a loaf of our genuine, full flavored, sour dough bread and rolls.  Our sour dough originated over 180 years ago in the south of France, nurtured from grapes.  A wonderful genealogy.

The full flavor of our sour dough is smooth and robust, just like a fine wine. 

Our sour dough comes from grape stock, as opposed to sour dough cultivated from a harsher and bitter environment of potato stock.  

Or heaven forbid, as other bakeries in the Utah Intermountain area are accustomed to doing, "chemically enhance the dough" to simulate a sour dough flavor.  Yuck.  Not good.  Not good at all.

Actually, I don't think that there is another bakery in the Utah area that is producing true sour dough.  Check the ingredient list on the bag.  Our declaration is a simple statement.  Not a lot there. 

Anything in the label you need a PhD in chemistry to understand?  Cause if there is, it’s probably what is called "dynamiting the loaf".  Other bakeries "dynamite" the loaf chemically to create a sour flavor.  You know.  Pucker power!



Oh!  Did I mention that in addition to making Sour Dough in different sizes and shapes, we also make it in Whole Wheat, Rye, and Marble Rye!
