Best Practices

• •Embrace the Artisan: Use descriptive language that highlights the craft, the process (e.g., "hand-shaped," "slow-fermented," "stone-baked"), and the skill involved.
• •Focus on Sensory Details: Appeal to sight (e.g., "deep mahogany crust," "golden layers"), smell ("aromatic," "fragrant"), taste ("complex," "tangy," "buttery"), and texture ("crisp," "tender," "flaky").
• •Educate Subtly: Weave in the "why" behind their methods – why slow fermentation leads to better flavor, why seasonal ingredients matter. This reinforces expertise and value.
• •Maintain an Elevated yet Approachable Voice: Avoid overly casual slang, but don't be so formal as to seem distant. The tone should be confident, knowledgeable, and passionate, inviting customers to share in their appreciation for quality.
• •Be Authentic and Story-Driven: Share the narrative of their ingredients, their bakers, or the inspiration behind a product. Connect with the "philosophy of baking" mentioned on their website. This builds a deeper connection than just listing product features.
