Young Kobras Organic, Gluten-Free Original Sourdough Bread 22oz (2-pack) - Allergen Friendly, Vegan, Gum-Free, Simple Ingredients & Made Fresh to OrderUSDA Organic

I like to toast it extra crunchy and add lots of butter. Since the bread is made from such quality ingredients, it is easier overlook the things it may not be good at and enjoy what it is good for. Sandwiches are very filling, and I always toast it before making one. Plenty of ways to enjoy this well made bread.

Finally arrived and thourghly what a let down in quality. Crust is so hard you can't eat it and after you cut the crust off hardly enough left to cover a piece of cheese. What a waste of money not to mention taste or very good.

I read somewhere that the buckeye wheat is the best gluten free wheat - it is very herd to find. THIS is worth the effort and price!! wow is this good - it is soft like "real" bread - it has a different taste - but it is good. It reminds me of the stronger taste of rye but not the rye flavor. It is great toasted with peanut butter or plain butter - or vegan plant butter. I'm drooling thinking about it. It is the best gluten free bread I have had in forever!

I have been purchasing this bread for about a year and a half-since spring of 2022, mostly when Amazon has prime day sales because it’s so expensive. I noticed Young Kobras raised the price three dollars in the time that I have been purchasing this bread. I think this was a recent price increase this year, 2024.I’m not complaining about what many other people complain about because I’ve had to deal with gluten-free bread for nearly 20 years now. The weight does not bother me, the fact that it doesn’t brown in the toaster easily does not bother me. I immediately put it in the freezer and I toast a piece when I want to eat it. As long as it feels toasted that’s when I further prepare it and eat it. To me, I’ve been doing this so long I don’t have a problem with it.I do have a problem with the cost, and,my purchase from this summer showed one of the loaves to have mold in the bread. This led me to contact the company and they did let me know that it looked like mold and they offered to reimburse. They were very kind in the email. I appreciated this and felt that three slices was not that big of a deal so I let it go and I thanked them for their prompt response and honesty.The problem is, I ate a piece out of that loaf that did not show any mold and I should’ve been advised not to. I have been sick with asthma and sinus problems and headache off and on on for five days. I’ve also felt incredibly tired and have been in bed off and on.I hit up Google and saw that these symptoms are common for allergic reaction to mold ingestion. So this has affected me in a very negative way.I eat very healthy and a year and a half ago, I found this bread. It felt like I hit the lottery. Because it’s supposed to have organic ingredients and it’s fermented sourdough which is really good for the body. I tried all four types and have come to like the olive sourdough bread, and I love the fig and the standard bread. So because of my ‘attachment’ to what I have never seen available before (I have not found any other options as good as this), I thought things would be fine and I would resume purchasing these loaves.Then I woke up yet again feeling awful. I googled the name of the company and the word, mold. And I was led here to the comment section. This is obviously not a one time event and they are not using full disclosure in the description. That crossed the line for me.If you’re going to charge nearly $33 for two 1/2 loaves, there better be no mistakes, no contamination and they better be exactly what they say. That’s where I’m at with this.I am sadly not going to buy this bread anymore. It’s not worth health problems.When I contacted the company, as I said they were responsive but I felt as though they could’ve given me a great deal more information on being cautious and immediately sent out a couple of loaves. That would’ve been what I would’ve done and I have to go on that. They were kind of in their messages but kindness, although very important to me, does not equate to full disclosure, information for prevention of their customers getting sick, and any other proactive action. I don’t think they enforce enough of their own standards for better hygiene in their bakery, to avoid contamination. Perhaps I’m not informed correctly somehow, but I have decided not to go with this company anymore. The actions speak more loudly than words.Hopefully I will find a local company.

For a gluten free bread it’s delicious. It’s dense and one piece will satisfy my toast cravings for sure without the bloat. When toasted it has a churro consistency: crunchy exterior and soft chewy interior. It tastes like yummy sourdough and I love the ingredients. I also love that it’s made then sent out immediately. I only use it as toast. For a sandwich, it might feel a bit stiff.Now the downside:It’s expensive and they are small. It’s clearly a half of a loaf and not a full loaf. For the price I want the full loaves. Debating on ordering again after these run out because of what you get for the price. If it’s 2 full loaves, definitely. Not sure i will re-order on these half loaves.

This stuff feels like a brick. Don't use it for regular sandwiches. You will regret it. It is not sized for sandwiches...being about half sized for a sandwich helped it hold together while eating a sandwich, but it still crumbled halfway through. My second try with this bread, I buttered it and then toasted it on a hot cast iron skillet and ate it with soup. That was much much better. The sourdough flavor is good, but this bread needs to be pan toasted. It helps soften it. Otherwise it is very hard to bite. I will not buy this again and will have to force myself to eat it before it spoils. I have made better gluten free bread at home on my own for much cheaper. $15 a loaf, for a short half sized loaf of brick, is a bit much in my opinion. I could see this being a good bread for a bistro that wanted to include a gluten free bread option, who also had no idea what gluten free actually meant or had no desire to put any effort into gluten free options. If you have a gluten intolerant friend and you want to have something they can eat at your next get together, buy something else!

I have been gluten free for many, many years and have weathered all of the tasteless, nutrition void, overpriced gf products. Of course, gf bread is the top item hard to duplicate or at least make enjoyable and nutritious. I am a good cook/baker and went through the phase of making my own sourdough with some success but at a huge time and effort expense. Young Kobra bread is delicious, and it holds up well to spreading toppings (i.e. nut butters) and freezing (most gf breads turn to crumbles). It's a little pricey but it's worth the indulgence to get a good piece of toast in the morning! Especially like the Fig one for breakfast and the plain sourdough for making grilled cheese sandwiches.
