Where to buy Real Bread: February 2025

Want Real Bread? Look for The Loaf Mark!

Run by the Real Bread Campaign for the benefit of Real Bread bakers and buyers, the scheme offers bakeries a way to give customers their own at-a-glance assurance that a product is Real Bread.

Bakeries can use the sourdough version to promote Real Bread leavened by a live starter culture, without the addition of baker’s yeast or other raising agents.

The look of loaf

These are the bakeries there are currently licensed to use The Real Bread Loaf Mark, updated for Real Bread Week.

The Loaf Mark is product-specific. Some bakeries on this list and our map only make Real Bread, others also make products that fall outside our definition.

The Loaf Mark is designed to be used in addition to, rather than instead of, a full ingredients list on a product’s label or point-of-sale signage.

(If you spot The Loaf Mark being by a company not on this list, please drop us a line so that we can investigate.)
