Villaggio Artesano White Bread
White
Villaggio Artesano White Bread is a 600 g Italian-style white loaf with a golden crust and a light dusting of flour. Villaggio says it is baked with no artificial flavours or colours and is built for toasting and sandwiches.
Like other Villaggio loaves, it is baked in Bimbo Canada bakeries across Canada. Bimbo Canada, formerly Canada Bread, has been owned by Mexico-based Grupo Bimbo since 2014. The Canadian head office is in Etobicoke, Ontario. Wheat and flour for Villaggio fresh bakery products are sourced from North America.
Ingredients start with enriched wheat flour, water, yeast, sugar, and canola or soybean oil. Two slices (64 g) have 150 calories, 1.5 g fat, 29 g carbohydrate, 2 g fibre, and 5 g protein. The loaf contains wheat and soy and may contain sesame seeds.
Keep it on the counter until the best before date, or freeze it for up to two months. It is not gluten-free.

Strong Canadian ties
Company’s own label claim: “Baked Across Canada”
Villaggio Artesano White Bread is baked in Canada by Bimbo Canada, a Grupo Bimbo subsidiary. Wheat and flour are sourced from North America, so it is made here with mixed continental grain rather than a Product of Canada loaf.
