Breadman - Naturally Fermented is a bread brand created by Steffan Klink in Nelson in 1993 after he moved to New Zealand from Germany. It is now part of NZ Breads Company Ltd, based at 89 Sturrocks Road, Casebrook, Christchurch, though the company states its values, ingredients, and methods have not changed with the change in ownership.
Breadman bakes traditional European-style bread using natural and organic ingredients, sold online and shipped directly to customers. The range includes 100% organic rye breads and loaves made with gluten-free ingredients, with each 700g loaf taking two days to make before being freshly baked.
Orders are dispatched every Monday, with a cut-off of 3pm on Fridays for that week's dispatch. Breadman ships anywhere in New Zealand except rural addresses, which require a minimum order of more than six loaves.
Breadman - Naturally Fermented is a bakery brand with roots going back to 1993, when Steffan Klink created it in Nelson after moving to New Zealand from Germany. In the years since, demand for delicious, healthy, locally baked bread has kept increasing, even before 'naturally fermented' became a widely used term.
The bakery is now part of NZ Breads Company Ltd, based at 89 Sturrocks Road, Casebrook, Christchurch. Despite the change in ownership, the brand states that the values, ingredients, and methods behind its breads have not changed.
Breadman sells its loaves online and ships them directly to customers, taking pride in traditional European baking made with natural and organic ingredients. Its range includes the Cassava Super Loaf and Spiced Cassava Cranberry Loaf, both made with gluten-free ingredients, alongside a trio of 100% organic rye breads: Dark Rye Sourdough, Mountain Rye Sourdough, and Sweet Rye Pumpernickel. All loaves are 700g, and each loaf takes two days to make before being freshly baked for dispatch.
Breadman operates on a weekly dispatch cycle. Orders are dispatched every Monday, with a cut-off of 3pm on Fridays for that following Monday's dispatch. Any order placed after the cut-off is automatically carried over to the next scheduled dispatch day.
Delivery is available anywhere in New Zealand except rural addresses, with different timeframes depending on location. Christchurch customers receive overnight delivery, while the rest of the South Island can expect 1-2 days, and North Island customers should allow 2-3 days for freight. For rural addresses, Breadman requires a minimum order of more than six loaves, and customers are asked to check in advance whether their address is classified as rural before ordering.
