A local treasure! Gonzalo makes the most delicious bread. My kids especially love the focaccia.

I thought I knew where to find the best bread in the area. Then I found Bethencourt and it exceeded all my expectations. Fabulous sourdough boules. Can't wait for more.

Only one word: WOW!!!

The delicious fluffy and chewy foccacia has been thoroughly enjoyed by adults and by some very young and occasionally critical consumers in our family. It is well worth the drive to pick up the loaves.

My introduction to Bethencourt Bakehouse’s breads occurred by chance at a local natural gourmet store, where I met Gonzalo Bethencourt and tried samples of his breads. Each of the 4 I tasted had outstanding flavor, moistness, and texture! They are far superior to super market breads and, as I learned from discussions with Gonzalo, incorporate beneficial health benefits that most other bakery breads do not have. As he explains (see his website), there is improved digestibility from the beneficial bacteria in the sourdough starter, and increased nutrition from his long, slow fermentation process. Of all his many different breads, my personal favorites are the Sourdough Multigrain Rye with Seeds (which has corn for a crisp crust), the Sourdough Rye with Cranberry and Walnuts, and the German Rye Sourdough. Try one, and you’ll experience the difference in flavor, texture, nutrition!

This bread is truly special. I love real bakery bread. But this bread is truly a cut above even the few real bakeries in this region. The sourdough loaf crumb is perfectly chewy and moist, the crust has snap and the flavor is outstanding. I had no idea I’d never had good rye bread until I tried this one. And the cookies? I was skeptical, but had a jaw-dropping revelation at the first bite. I can honestly say the they are the best I’ve ever hard. I can’t way to try more creations! This man clearly has made bread his art, and you will love his work!
