76 September 2015 www.womanthismonth.com Alosra supermarket has just expanded its bread offering and introduced a new range of artisan loaves which not only taste delicious but are made with all-natural ingredients. Some of the products to be found under the new artisan range include dark rye bread, rose and pistachio brioche, sourdough bread, Vienna loaf, banana bread and seed and nut bread. And there’s great news for health enthusiasts as there is also a host of gluten-free and vegan options available. “I think the health-conscious trend is taking over and people are starting to realise the benefits of eating healthy. Therefore the demand for gluten-free and vegan options in the market is growing,” explained Alosra food specialist, Sara Babar. “The options are currently limited in Bahrain. Although ALOSRA A HEARTY LOAF Not many people associate the term ‘healthy’ with delicious, but this supermarket aims to change that with its new range of artisan breads. showcase there is a niche audience for such health foods and I anticipate such demand to grow substantially in the future.” The fresh and friendly supermarket wants to cater to this increasing demand and understands the need to encourage more people to eat healthily. “We want to especially counter the unhealthy and artificial options readily available in the marketplace,” adds Sara. The range of artisan breads is sold exclusively at Alosra, and is currently only available in the Saar (Najibi Centre) and Amwaj branches. The supermarket is working on ensuring the range will be available in all of its branches in the near future.
