фото: Trio of Olive Bloomer

Описание: The fashionable word "artisan" doesn't appear on the reassuringly old-fashioned brown paper bag. But lots of other words do. With typeface and size changing more often than the olive variety There's reassurance too in how the bread is made. It seems there's nothing rushed about the Trio Olive Bloomer. We're getting slow bread, "made using a unique slow fermentation process". This process provides - note the delicacy of this verb - it "provides a signature taste and texture." So no ordinary slice this. It's the real thing. With a signature. A taste which might be bestowed upon us. Though I'm unclear exactly what unique tasty signs we need to look out for. Attention, attention must finally be paid to this loaf. The phrase "hand finished" appears twice. Another puzzle unsolved. "Trio of Olives Blend" Passing to the olives, is a blend of three sorts better than a single "renowned" type of olive? Is it good enough if all three varieties of olive are from the "renowned Kalamata region"? Or should we be delving into websites about different olive producing regions? Perhaps to check whether we need worry about blended olive mixtures? For example, are single-grove-olives like single malt whiskies? Providing a subtler and more recognisable signature taste than a miscellaneous trio of tiny olive wedges on the crust? Or is all this just another reason to bump up the price? Bread Meanwhile in our own homely kitchen in the Tottenham "Region" there's nothing artisanal about the wooden bread bin. It just reads "bread". Maybe we need to upgrade to a more foodie-style bread bin? Or maybe the hand finishers should have checked before they filled our brown bag. Asking, very politely, whether we're the right sort of persons to be entrusted with taking responsibility for the future of a Trio of Olive Bloomer.
