Rustic Galician Bread Sampler

Fill your home with the aroma of freshly baked bread from Spain! These handmade loaves are one of Galicia’s culinary treasures, renowned for their crispy crust and fluffy center. Ours are baked to within a few minutes of perfection at the bakery in Spain. All you need to do is bake them for ten minutes, and your kitchen will fill with wonderful enticing aromas.

This collection offers three types of traditional Galician bread so you can experience this regional delicacy. Once baked, these breads are great for bocadillo sandwiches or served alongside charcuterie and cheese boards, or as an accompaniment to any meal.

Included are 2 Barra Española loaves, 2 Barra Cantábrica loaves and 6 Panecillo Tetiña rolls. Barra Española loaves are similar to wide baguettes, with a rustic crust and elastic interior. Barra Cantábrica loaves are exceeding light and airy, with a thin crisp crust. And Panecillo Tetiña rolls are great served with salad and for sandwiches. We even use them for gourmet hamburgers.

The secret to this special bread is the baker, tucked away in Lugo in the heart of Galicia. They use a natural ‘madre,’ or mother dough, which means each naturally shaped loaf is rustic and traditional. This mild sourdough is the secret to the elastic, airy interior and satisfyingly crisp crust.

You can store the bread for several days in the refrigerator, or several weeks in the freezer. For best results, thaw the bread before baking.

Sizes for the items included in this sampler are as follows: Barra Gallega - 2 loaves with approximate weight of 10 oz each, Barra Cantábrica - 2 loaves with approximate weight of 12 oz each and Panecillo Tetiña - 6 rolls with approximate weight of 2.5 oz each.
