At the start of her new journey, The Marmalade Cat is looking great after spending some time at the salon , but she still has a kink in her tail, and that is what makes her special.
Cheers 🥂 to Phlip and Zander on the next 20 years.

Why sourdough bread you asked?, so I asked Carien Hugo Waring and this is what she had to say....

Baking bread with a long-fermentation sourdough process is not just a culinary choice but a commitment to quality and tradition. Here's why we embrace this time-tested method at Moorrees Artisan Bakery:

1. *Enhanced Flavour Profile:* The extended fermentation allows for the development of complex flavours. The natural acids produced during this process contribute to a rich and nuanced taste that sets our sourdough apart.

2. *Improved Digestibility:* Sourdough fermentation breaks down gluten and phytic acid, making the bread more digestible. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with gluten sensitivities. It breaks down 70% of gluten, carbohydrates and sugar.

3. *Health Benefits:* The prolonged fermentation process promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, enhancing the bread's nutritional profile. Sourdough is a source of probiotics and may support a healthy gut microbiome.

4. *Natural Preservation:* Sourdough's acidity acts as a natural preservative, extending the shelf life of the bread without the need for added preservatives or artificial ingredients.

5. *Texture and Crust Development:* The slow rise allows the gluten in the dough to mature gradually, resulting in a bread with a desirable texture—chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The crust, often a hallmark of artisanal sourdough, is achieved through this patient fermentation.

6. *Traditional Craftsmanship:* Long-fermentation sourdough represents a return to traditional baking methods, emphasizing patience and skill. It connects us to a heritage of artisanal bread-making that spans generations.

In essence, the long-fermentation sourdough process is a labour of love that transforms simple ingredients into a culinary masterpiece. At Moorrees, we believe in honoring these age-old techniques to provide our customers with bread that not only satisfies the taste buds but also reflects our dedication to quality and tradition.

Our bread is vegan; gluten-intolerant & diabetic friendly.

We have a new listing in the shop.

Fairview Altesse captures the cool whispers of the ocean. Grown on the rolling hills surrounding Darling, our vines gaze down over the cold Atlantic Ocean and the distant beach breakers at Yzerfontein. Here, altitude and sea meet to shape a white blend rooted in tradition, yet alive with a modern Cape influence.

A harmony of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, brimming with maritime vitality.

Altesse: a Darling revival where terroir reigns."

Good wines inspire good meals and here in Darling we have no shortage of cooking enthusiasts – some do so for a living, some for love and some for both. We want to share the joy and have asked our Darling foodies to share the joy of one of their favourite recipes, plus a Darling wine to pair with it. Every fortnight there will be something to look forward to.

The brief:
• The type of dish that always goes down well with family and
friends – be it a “weekday winner” or a “Saturday splash out”
• Using ingredients that are readily available locally and a recipe
that is not to complicated or involved.
