The Hovis Sourdough Range Responds to Demand for the Variety
Michael Hemsworth — October 3, 2025 — Lifestyle
The Hovis Sourdough range has been debuted by the brand in the UK as a series of prepackaged bread products that respond to increasing demand for the variety.
The product range includes the White Sourdough Cob and the Seeded Sourdough Cob, which each come sliced and ready to eat to maximize convenience. This comes in contrast to traditional bakery sourdough loaves that require slicing to make the products more suited for fast-paced consumer lifestyles without sacrificing on quality. The breads will be supported by an expansive marketing campaign that includes digital, PR, social media, retail media and sampling.
Chief Marketing Officer Mark Brown commented on the Hovis Sourdough range saying, "We’re thrilled to be expanding into a category which is experiencing such phenomenal growth. We’re combining 130 years of baking experience and heritage with the highest quality ingredients to meet the growing needs of consumers looking for genuine sourdough loaves with great taste and texture. Consumer reaction from taste tests has been fantastic, particularly when toasted or paired with toppings, which shows the cobs’ versatility and appeal."
