Advantages: Tasty, soft

Disadvantages: Co-op are always running out

Warburton's medium-sliced loaf is the main source of bread in our house, unless there is absolutely no other choice at the supermarket, which unfortunately at our local Co-op is a regular occurance if you leave your shopping until mid- afternoon when the schools finish.

I generally buy my bread from the Co-op because it is so much fresher than buying it at Asda or Tesco, I'm not sure if this is because of the way they store the bread or whether it's just because the Co-op have a much faster turnover of bread as they don't buy as much in everyday. It works out a little dearer this way but for the extra freshness it's worth the few extra pennies it costs.

If I remember rightly 94 cal a slice is pretty much average or a loaf of bread (excluding diet bread of course), so considering the Warburton slices are bigger than your average slice of bread it doesn't seem too bad to me.

For those with allergies the bread contains gluten, wheat, soya/soyabeans.

As I mentioned earlier Warburton's bread is always really fresh, unless you are unlucky and the wax sealed paper has come open on the packet you've picked up. I had this happened to me before so I always double check to make sure that the paper is completely sealed when I'm selecting a loaf.

The problem with this bread is that because it's so soft and fresh sometimes you've made yourself a sandwich for instance you'll fancy making a second one just because the first one was so lovely rather than because you are hungry. Also because the bread is so fresh using butter can be problematic especially in the winter when the butter is hard. I combat this by using Flora Buttery which spreads easily (even if it doesn't taste as good butter).

You need to be aware that Warburton slices are slightly larger than the likes of Hovis, so if you like toast in the morning you'll have to make sure your toaster will take the bigger slices (Russell Hobbs are perfect for this).

All in all I can't recommend Warburton's highly enough, it's the best bread out there, I just wish the Co-op would stock a few extra loaves so that I didn't miss out when I forget to take my purse out in the morning.

Summary: Well recommended
