Gruyere and Herbes de Provence Artisan Loaf
A rustic, golden crusted loaf infused with nutty Gruyère and fragrant Herbes de Provence freshly harvested at Le Petit Jardin. This artisan loaf combines the rich, savory depth of aged Swiss cheese with a classic Provençal herb blend ~ thyme, rosemary, savory, marjoram and culinary lavender ~ yielding a bread that is aromatic, flavorful, and versatile.
Characteristics
Crust: Deeply golden, slightly blistered, with a satisfying crispness.
Crumb: Open yet tender, with an irregular crumb structure that holds pockets of melted Gruyère.
Aroma: Warm, savory cheese notes balanced by floral and earthy herb top notes.
Flavor: Savory and buttery from the Gruyère, brightened and rounded by the herbal blend; a mild, lingering tang from a slow fermentation.
Storage and reheating
Room temperature: Keep in a bread bag or wrapped in a linen towel for 1–2 days.
Refrigeration: Not recommended; shortens shelf life and dries the crumb.
Freezing: Slice and freeze in a sealed bag for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen in a 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes.
Refresh: Re-crisp in a 400°F oven for 6–8 minutes or toast individual slices.
Perfect for anyone who appreciates a delightful, savory, herb~accented loaf.
