**Fresh preservative free bread and ships ONLY on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Orders placed on other days of the week will ship on the next shipping window.** **We recommend purchasing with 2.day air shipping for safe transit of the bread, especially during hot summer days.** Fresh bread will loose about 5% of its original freshness on daily basis. However, freshness can be optimized by toasting the bread in a toaster or reheating in a 350 degree Fahrenheit preheated oven for 2-3 minutes.
