Bee's Wrap — Reusable Beeswax-Lined Artisan Bread Bag

A bread bag lined with beeswax, so a good loaf stays good for days.

Plastic bags trap moisture and soften the crust. Paper lets the loaf go stale by day two. A beeswax-lined cotton bag does what neither can: it breathes just enough to keep the crust crisp while holding in the moisture that keeps the crumb soft. It fits a full sourdough boule or a long artisan loaf, folds down around a half loaf, and it is reusable for a year or more. When it finally wears out, it composts.

The lining is Bee's Wrap's standard recipe: organic cotton coated in beeswax, organic jojoba oil and tree resin.

Who this is for

• You buy a fresh sourdough loaf every week and lose half of it to staling
• Home bakers who want a better way to store what they make
• Anyone cutting plastic out of the kitchen
• A useful gift alongside a loaf of local bread
