yves brimbeuf is a man who takes his bread seriously. he even mills his own flour. he considers his…read morebaking an art and approaches it with a remarkable passion and intensity. this pays off. his bread has life in it. all of his bread is bio/organic and all made from the highest quality ingredients. this region of france is known as the pays des noix and yves' pain aux noix is one of the best i have tasted - creamy, chewy, complex, with the taste of levain present and tangy but not overwhelming sour as i find some can be. the nuts are perfect, they have a very subtle sweetness, they taste almost caramelized. He makes a sunflower, poppy seed, and flaxseed bread that is in the form of a heart - charming, and delicious as well.
