Poilane - English pamphlet - great quick read!!!

Hi Freshloafers

I just got back from Paris where I visited the Poilane outlet in St Germain. I picked up a great Poilane pamphlet in english. I wanted to share it with the Fresh Loaf community because I think it provides a great summary of the historical importance of sourdough bread, the important health qualities of sourdough bread and the importance of using good ingredients. Its a quick read and a great summary for anyone interest in sourdough bread from one the world's most renowned 100% sourdough bread producers.

If anyone one takes a look, please do let me know what you think.

Thanks

...toasting one side only. Something I will have to try.

Lots of other succinct advice in there too. 

And thanks for posting this. They didn't have leaflets on display (or I didn't spot them) when I visited them.

I am glad you found it interesting. I hope more people read it! When you visited Poilane (St. Germain location) did you go to their restaurant next door? It is great, all they serve is tartines (basically french open face sandwiches) on Poilane bread. You can see the servers run next door to the bakery to get more large Poilane load when they are running out. great lunch/snack spot.
