I LOVE this bread, and the price. It's so hard to find a pre-made bread that is not enriched (I can't have the folic acid because of MTHFR gene issue). This is a surprisingly clean bread and recommend it to many. Sourdough is also fermented and easier to digest than just a plain wheat.

Winco is located in the Western US. This bread is shipped to WinCo frozen and is not made in the bakery. If they are out of this variety (don't get the rosemary or chipotle ones!) ask the clerk if they have any in the back and let them know you're ok buying it frozen. I buy mine and throw them in my big freezer anyway, so I have new bread in between the big shopping trips.

They also have small sourdough loaves that you can use to make sourdough breadbowls and serve soup in them, and I saw an asiago cheddar version. I didn't check to see if it had any annatto from the cheese on it - but it might be good if it doesn't. I'm a bit of a purist, so I didn't look.

Also, don't confuse this with "bake shop" sourdough, as those are a different product.

Very convienent and affordable Low Sal

Going Low Sal is a huge paradigm shift for us. The thought of making my own bread was off putting for a low sal diet. I had never been good at baking bread and refused to try anymore. When I read there is an easy way to just buy a low sal bread I was thrilled. We shop at Winco for many of our food items so this makes it a very easy change. Plus we love sourdough. I talked to a guy at King Arthur's Flour company and they stopped selling any enriched flour about a decade ago. They also stopped selling any bleached flour too. He explained that many decades ago flour was enriched here because they found that many folks were not eating enough of the right foods and were deficient. So they put these synthetic vitamins in the flour to help off set all that. But if you eat well you really don't need to be taking these vitamins and Harvard had done studies and then came out saying taking vitamin supplements does more harm than good. We really are stuck in the past with enriching and bleaching flours for baked goods.
