Young Kobras Organic, Gluten-Free Original Sourdough Bread 22oz (2-pack) - Allergen Friendly, Vegan, Gum-Free, Simple Ingredients & Made Fresh to Order

I have been gluten free for many, many years and have weathered all of the tasteless, nutrition void, overpriced gf products. Of course, gf bread is the top item hard to duplicate or at least make enjoyable and nutritious. I am a good cook/baker and went through the phase of making my own sourdough with some success but at a huge time and effort expense. Young Kobra bread is delicious, and it holds up well to spreading toppings (i.e. nut butters) and freezing (most gf breads turn to crumbles). It's a little pricey but it's worth the indulgence to get a good piece of toast in the morning! Especially like the Fig one for breakfast and the plain sourdough for making grilled cheese sandwiches.

This has to be one of my top 5 worse Amazon buys. This product is as lifeless and tasteless as a glass of water. It’s got a dry almost gummy constitution simply awful. Not sure how it has a 4 star average.

I love the Young Kobras breads, all delicious in their own way. I don't understand the people down-rating these for taste, comparing them to standard gluten-free garbage typically plied in most grocery stores... those ones use conditioners, enzymes, tenderizers, preservatives, lots of sugar or fats (even unhealthy saturated fats)... So yeah, if you cheat like crazy you can improve the taste in some ways, but at the cost of your health! Wake up people, stop spending money to support inferior food. Vote with your wallet for better food, companies doing the right thing, companies who care about their customer's health, especially small producers like this one. I can currently eat gluten containing breads, but I focus on organic authentic sourdough breads even on those to reduce the gluten load on my system to hopefully not prompt my body to become gluten sensitive, and also mix in these gluten-free products to also greatly reduce the gluten load... all this effort should reduce the chances or extent of the possibility of a leaky gut, etc too. So yes, this is one of the gluten-free breads that are actually healthy to eat and that I love even though I can fortunately still choose any bread.

I have been purchasing this bread for about a year and a half-since spring of 2022, mostly when Amazon has prime day sales because it’s so expensive. I noticed Young Kobras raised the price three dollars in the time that I have been purchasing this bread. I think this was a recent price increase this year, 2024. I’m not complaining about what many other people complain about because I’ve had to deal with gluten-free bread for nearly 20 years now. The weight does not bother me, the fact that it doesn’t brown in the toaster easily does not bother me. I immediately put it in the freezer and I toast a piece when I want to eat it. As long as it feels toasted that’s when I further prepare it and eat it. To me, I’ve been doing this so long I don’t have a problem with it. I do have a problem with the cost, and, my purchase from this summer showed one of the loaves to have mold in the bread. This led me to contact the company and they did let me know that it looked like mold and they offered to reimburse. They were very kind in the email. I appreciated this and felt that three slices was not that big of a deal so I let it go and I thanked them for their prompt response and honesty. The problem is, I ate a piece out of that loaf that did not show any mold and I should’ve been advised not to. I have been sick with asthma and sinus problems and headache off and on on for five days. I’ve also felt incredibly tired and have been in bed off and on. I hit up Google and saw that these symptoms are common for allergic reaction to mold ingestion. So this has affected me in a very negative way. I eat very healthy and a year and a half ago, I found this bread. It felt like I hit the lottery. Because it’s supposed to have organic ingredients and it’s fermented sourdough which is really good for the body. I tried all four types and have come to like the olive sourdough bread, and I love the fig and the standard bread. So because of my ‘attachment’ to what I have never seen available before (I have not found any other options as good as this), I thought things would be fine and I would resume purchasing these loaves. Then I woke up yet again feeling awful. I googled the name of the company and the word, mold. And I was led here to the comment section. This is obviously not a one time event and they are not using full disclosure in the description. That crossed the line for me. If you’re going to charge nearly $33 for two 1/2 loaves, there better be no mistakes, no contamination and they better be exactly what they say. That’s where I’m at with this. I am sadly not going to buy this bread anymore. It’s not worth health problems. When I contacted the company, as I said they were responsive but I felt as though they could’ve given me a great deal more information on being cautious and immediately sent out a couple of loaves. That would’ve been what I would’ve done and I have to go on that. They were kind of in their messages but kindness, although very important to me, does not equate to full disclosure, information for prevention of their customers getting sick, and any other proactive action. I don’t think they enforce enough of their own standards for better hygiene in their bakery, to avoid contamination. Perhaps I’m not informed correctly somehow, but I have decided not to go with this company anymore. The actions speak more loudly than words. Hopefully I will find a local company.

I got this for my son who has to eat gluten-free. He said these were great and fresh.

This stuff feels like a brick. Don't use it for regular sandwiches. You will regret it. It is not sized for sandwiches...being about half sized for a sandwich helped it hold together while eating a sandwich, but it still crumbled halfway through. My second try with this bread, I buttered it and then toasted it on a hot cast iron skillet and ate it with soup. That was much much better. The sourdough flavor is good, but this bread needs to be pan toasted. It helps soften it. Otherwise it is very hard to bite. I will not buy this again and will have to force myself to eat it before it spoils. I have made better gluten free bread at home on my own for much cheaper. $15 a loaf, for a short half sized loaf of brick, is a bit much in my opinion. I could see this being a good bread for a bistro that wanted to include a gluten free bread option, who also had no idea what gluten free actually meant or had no desire to put any effort into gluten free options. If you have a gluten intolerant friend and you want to have something they can eat at your next get together, buy something else!

Delicious and healthy bread. Just make sure you freeze or refrigerate immediately. This bread is fresh with no additives so if the shipment takes longer than expected, make sure you check each loaf upon receipt to ensure it didn't get moldy en route.

Package and deliver fine but the product. the bread, was very hard and had no flavor of sourdough bread .I'm questioning if it was really fresh as advertised. I discarded both loaves after trying it. I would not buy it again.
