If your Costco runs have started to feel a little routine, the bakery aisle just got more interesting. The warehouse has a new Blueberry Sourdough Bread on the shelves, and it is the kind of find that makes you wish you had grabbed two.
The loaf is hearth-baked, weighs two pounds, and is priced at $8.99. Real dried blueberries are baked throughout, so you get little bursts of sweetness in every slice.
Not Your Usual Sourdough
This loaf is a bit of a hybrid. It combines sourdough culture with yeast, giving it a softer texture and a milder tang than classic sourdough. That said, it is still described as having a robust sour flavor.
The balance between the light tang and the blueberries is what makes it so easy to use. It does not lock you into sweet or savory, it goes both ways.
How to Put It to Good Use
At breakfast, slice it thick and let it soak up a custard base for French toast. A little butter, fresh berries, and maple syrup are all it needs. Or go the savory route and pile on bacon, egg, and cheese.
For something a little more adventurous, it makes a terrific grilled cheese, especially with a sharp cheddar to play off the sweetness. You could even build a Monte Cristo-style sandwich with ham, cheese, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
And honestly? Sometimes the best use is the simplest one. Toasted with butter, this is the kind of loaf that disappears fast once it hits the counter.
It May Not Be in Every Store Yet
New bakery items at Costco often roll out regionally before they reach all locations. If you do not see it on your next visit, give it a little time; it may just be on its way.
Between the real blueberries, the versatility, and the $8.99 price tag, this is one bakery item worth keeping an eye out for on your next Costco trip.
