Artesano Bakkerij
- Organic methods: no synthetic pesticides or fertiliser, not certified
Artesano is a neighbourhood sourdough bakery on the Tempeliersstraat in Haarlem, baking sourdough bread alongside a smaller range of pastries and viennoiseries.
Their website says every product is made without artificial ingredients or processing aids and goes through a long fermentation, which it says improves flavour and digestion. It describes the bread as organic and says organic and local ingredients are used as far as possible. Artesano holds no organic certificate; what qualifies it here is the slow sourdough fermentation without additives. Their website names neither the flour nor the mill, and does not say whether any baker's yeast is added alongside the sourdough.
The bread is sold only in the shop, which is open Wednesday to Friday from 8:00 to 15:00, Saturday from 8:00 to 14:00 and Sunday from 9:00 to 13:00, and is closed on Monday and Tuesday.
