Sending bread from Paris is one of our favorite go-to gifts to send our family in the United States, especially at Christmas. Send a little Paris to someone who would appreciate it. If you’re longing for Paris or simply crave exceptional bread, why not treat yourself too? Here’s a simple guide to get that bread shipped straight from Paris.
Poilane has five bakeries in Paris. The natural leavening of the sourdough has been continually used since 1932 and everything is baked in a wood-fired oven. Even Ina Garten lists it among her top Parisian spots.
We suggest you try their whole, unsliced sourdough loaves. Options for halves and quarters are available too. Surprisingly, shipping to the USA is about $30, quite a steal for international food delivery.
In addition to bread, Poilane offers cookies, other bread varieties, and flours. Their uncut sourdough rounds are a personal favorite. They’re big, but don’t worry, you can always freeze what you can’t eat. Get Ina’s tips on this here.
For the bakers out there, consider ordering Poilane’s bread baking book, Poilâne: The Secrets of the World-Famous Bread Bakery. You can also sign up for Masterclass subscription, which includes the series on how to bake bread with Apollonia Polaine.
