Disclaimer & Food Safety Notice
Essential allergen declarations, shelf life care recommendations, and nutritional guidance for our handcrafted baked goods.
Policy Directory
Our bakery kitchen actively processes products containing Wheat (Gluten), Pure European Dairy Butter & Milk, Eggs, Tree Nuts (Almonds, Pistachios, Walnuts), and Sesame Seeds. While we enforce strict sanitization protocols between baking batches, trace cross-contamination may occur. Individuals with severe, life-threatening food allergies (such as celiac disease or acute nut anaphylaxis) should exercise personal discretion before consuming our goods.
1. Pure Sourdough Philosophy & Shelf Life Care
Avyan Bakehouse bakes strictly with unbleached flours, wild yeast levain cultures, water, sea salt, and pure lactic butter. We do NOT use artificial bread improvers, potassium bromate, chemical preservatives, or synthetic anti-mold inhibitors (such as calcium propionate).
- Room Temperature: Keep loaves cut-side down in a wooden bread box or breathable paper bag for up to 3 to 4 days. Do not store fresh sourdough in standard plastic wrap in high humidity.
- Do NOT Refrigerate: Refrigerators accelerate starch retrogradation, drying out artisanal bread.
- Freezing for Long Storage: Pre-slice the loaf, place slices in a sealed freezer-safe bag, and freeze for up to 30 days. Reheat directly in a toaster or warm oven.
2. Nutritional & Health Statements Disclaimer
While slow lactic acid fermentation breaks down complex starches and phytic acid, making sourdough gentler on general digestion, Avyan Bakehouse sourdough breads are NOT gluten-free and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent celiac disease or any medical condition. Any nutritional narratives provided on our website or social media are for informational enjoyment only.
3. Product Photography & Handcrafted Variations
Photographs published on this website and our digital menu depict real products baked in our bakery kitchen. However, because every sourdough loaf, croissant, and custom celebration cake is shaped and decorated by hand by master bakers, slight artistic variations in finish, scoring patterns, and natural berry garnishes will occur.
