Jalapeno & Cheddar Sourdough - Enjoy a little heat to warm you up

One of this week's specials is our Jalapeño & Cheddar Sourdough — a loaf that strikes just the right balance between flavour and warmth. Rather than overwhelming the palate, the gentle heat of the jalapeños and the richness of the cheddar create a subtle zing that's especially welcome in a hearty winter meal.

Versatile and full of character, this loaf shines in countless ways. Tear off a chunk to scoop up your favourite dip, serve it alongside a fragrant curry, or use it as the foundation for an unforgettable open sandwich.

For this weekend's open sandwich, we've topped thick slices of jalapeńo and cheddar loaf with tender chicken cooked in our signature jalapeño sauce and finished it with a few slices of Motshe's pickled jalapeños for an extra burst of flavour. It's also the perfect choice for a toasted sandwich, where the cheddar notes become even more irresistible.

A word of warning, though: once you've tasted this loaf, you'll find yourself coming back for more. Don't forget to place your order before Thursday evening.
