ACE Bakery

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

ACE Bakery is a Toronto, Canada-based bakery that specializes in artisan breads. It was founded in 1993 by two food enthusiasts, Martin Connell and Linda Haynes, who were driven by their passion for food and a simple philosophy: to bake bread that is as delicious as it is nutritious.

History[edit | edit source]

ACE Bakery was established in 1993 in a small bakery on King Street, Toronto. The founders, Martin Connell and Linda Haynes, were not professional bakers but had a deep appreciation for quality food. They started with a simple mission: to create high-quality, artisan breads that would satisfy the tastes of the most discerning food lovers.

The bakery quickly gained a reputation for its exceptional breads, which were made using traditional methods and the finest ingredients. The success of ACE Bakery led to its expansion, with the opening of additional bakeries in Mississauga, Guelph, and Scarborough.

In 2010, ACE Bakery was acquired by Weston Foods, a leading North American baking company. Despite the change in ownership, ACE Bakery has remained committed to its original mission and continues to produce high-quality, artisan breads.

Products[edit | edit source]

ACE Bakery offers a wide range of breads, including baguettes, ciabatta, focaccia, and sourdough. The bakery is also known for its innovative products, such as its signature Olive Bread and Rosemary Focaccia. All of ACE Bakery's breads are made using traditional methods and the finest ingredients, including unbleached flour, sea salt, and filtered water.

In addition to its breads, ACE Bakery also offers a selection of pastries and desserts, including croissants, muffins, and cookies. These products are made with the same commitment to quality and craftsmanship that characterizes ACE Bakery's breads.

Recognition[edit | edit source]

ACE Bakery has received numerous awards and accolades for its breads. In 2007, the bakery's Baguette was named the best in Toronto by Toronto Life magazine. In 2011, ACE Bakery's Olive Bread was recognized as the best in Canada by the Canadian Culinary Championships.
