Today I’m doing a quick review for the Costco Vero Vero Heritage Sourdough bread we picked up during a recent trip to Costco. I’m reviewing this because we really enjoy this bread and the price at Costco is awesome for two large loaves.

Other bread I’ve reviewed from Costco includes the Carbonaut Low Carb Keto Bread and the Little Northern Bakehouse Seeds & Grains Gluten-Free Bread. I’m currently really loving the Costco Kirkland Signature Cheese Buns and we always but the Costco Kirkland Signature Italian Ciabatta Buns.

Taste

Yummy! I really enjoy this sourdough bread from Costco. If you’ve never had sourdough bread before it has a signature slightly sour flavor. This Vero Vero bread from Costco isn’t too tangy and also has a bit of a rye flavor.

If you’re curious what makes sourdough bread kind of sour toasting, it’s the acids in the starter that’s used to make the bread.

The bread is soft, thick and chewy and has an airy texture. It resembles white bread but has that amazing tangy sourdough flavor. It toasts up beautifully, becoming golden brown and crisp in about two minutes in the toaster.

Cost

For two 670 game loaves of bread I paid $6.99 Canadian. I’ll mention that the slices are quite large! They’re not small slices of bread.

Convenience

The best before date listed on the sourdough bread from Costco is about eight days from the date we purchased it. I put it in my freezer right away and finds it freezes really well. You can use this bread from Costco for sandwiches or toast, it makes an amazing grilled cheese!

Sourdough bread is not easy to make and seems pretty intimidating for a novice baker. Therefore I prefer to buy my sourdough rather than make my own! Especially when it’s as cheap as the Costco Vero Vero Heritage Sourdough.

Health Benefits of Sourdough Bread

Sourdough is a healthy alternative to whole wheat or white bread. It has a lower gluten-content and has less of a negative impact on blood sugar levels. It also is more nutritious because of it’s lower phytate content. Phytates basically make it harder for your body to absorb nutrients and white and whole wheat bread have higher levels of phytates. A lot of individuals find sourdough a lot easier to digest as well.

  1. This is my first time buying this sourdough bread. the taste is good but when I checked to see what vegetable was used, was very disappointed.
    These are very bad oils. And for people who have had breast cancer should never use soybean oi.
    So sad to say unless the oils are changed to healthy oils I cannot buy this bread again.

  2. Sorry to say, but this isn’t sourdough, and to label it heritage, is laughable.
    It contains commercial yeast. Sourdough should contain only flour, water, salt. What you’re tasting in here is sourdough spice probably, and the vinegar to give it that sour taste. Sourdough spice is starter that’s been baked (which now all the lactobasillica is killed which you need to ferment the dough), crushed and then added to the dough, so now the dough is not fermented. People with gut issues are misled with this label. If the bread is not fermented it can wreak havoc on them.

  3. Ascorbic acid? Acid is not meant to be ingested in any form. I have done years of research on introducing acids into the human diet. Like cow, sheep, and goat milk these should be avoided. There is a reason that people in some villages in Greece and Asia live into their 100s. They do not ingest these poisons. Humans should only drink human milk and unnatural acids should be avoided. The only acid that should ever be ingested is possibly natural citric, but even it is linked to esophageal cancers given the industrial process surrounding citrus so you are best off using fresh oranges.

    I also agree with Brenda’s comment. Only olive oils. I have also switched to olive oils from small farms rather than mass produces farms like those in Spain because they still process the olives naturally rather than by a mechanized process. Lubricating oils from machinery make their way into olives produced by large manufacturers in Italy/Spain/Greece. Best to buy from providers who can prove their oils are 100% local. It can be expensive but we’ve purchased such oils on our trips to Greece, California, Italy (especially Sicily).

  4. Attention Vero Vero

    I’m writing of my concern as to the use of Vegetable oil (Canola, Corn, Soybean, and/or Sunflower Oil) in your Heritage Sourdough bread. These seeds oils are extremely unhealthy as these seeds are processed with a petroleum-based solvent as well as chemicals to deodorize & and colour them. I would think that a Heritage Sourdough bread would use lard, olive oil or coconut oil. Now that I know the dangers of seed oils, I no longer purchase products that contain them.

    Thank you for taking the time to review my concern.

    Brenda
