Yay! We’ve Swapped Seed Oils for Heart-Healthy EVOO!

May 9, 2025

At Simple Kneads, we’ve always believed that food should nourish both the body and the soul. That’s why we’re excited to share a meaningful change we’ve made in our bakery:

We’ve officially swapped out seed oils in all of our baking and replaced them with heart-healthy extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).

Why the switch?

Extra virgin olive oil is packed with antioxidants and healthy monounsaturated fats, making it a smarter, cleaner choice for your heart. It’s been a staple in Mediterranean diets for centuries, and now, it’s a staple in ours too.

What does this mean for you?

  • Better-for-you baked bread with no compromise on flavor or texture
  • A cleaner label you can feel good about
  • The same Simple Kneads quality, now with even more thoughtful ingredients

For our naturally gluten-free sourdough loaves, every bite is now made with EVOO — chosen not just for its health benefits, but for its rich, subtly fruity taste that enhances every bake.
This is more than just a recipe tweak — it’s part of our ongoing commitment to simplicity, transparency, and doing what’s best for our customers.

Healthier ingredients. Kneaded with care. That’s the Simple Kneads way.

Oh, and our Quinoa loaf remain oil-free! That hasn’t changed!
