We understand the importance of family, strong values, and high-quality ingredients—it’s what we were founded on. And we believe that every meal should feel like it’s straight from the heart of Grandma’s kitchen.

That’s the inspiration behind Martin’s Old-Fashioned Real Butter Bread.

Butter Bread combines the nostalgia of days gone by with the great taste and high quality that customers like you love and expect from Martin’s. Just like those irreplaceable moments we share with our family around the dinner table, it is so much more than a meal.

About Martin’s Old-Fashioned Real Butter Bread

Since we introduced this product to the market in January 2017, Martin’s Old-Fashioned Real Butter Bread has been a welcome addition to our bread family. It is the first non-potato-based product in our sliced bread line, and the third in our full retail product line (after Big Marty’s Rolls and Hoagie Rolls).

Martin’s Butter Bread is a premium white bread made with high quality ingredients including real butter. Our commitment to quality is what sets this bread apart from other brands and makes it superior to other white breads on the shelf in terms of taste, texture, and substance.

Why “Old-Fashioned?”

Sometimes it’s nice to escape the busy and chaotic times of the present and think back to a time when life was simpler. Whether, for you, that means a previous era or your own childhood, the simplicity of “the way things used to be” can be a refreshing thought.

old-fash·ioned: not modern; belonging to or typical of a time in the past; using or preferring ways and traditions of the past; suited to or favoring the styles, methods, manners, or ideas of earlier times; reminiscent of past times

Our company has deep roots. Back in 1955, Lloyd and Lois Martin started baking bread and rolls out of their small garage bakery, based on a recipe that had been passed down from a previous generation. While we’ve certainly grown and expanded over the years, our commitment to producing high-quality products remains the same.

Martin’s Old-Fashioned Real Butter Bread exemplifies these same ideals. Carefully crafted using quality ingredients, it’s reminiscent of Grandma’s kitchen full of freshly baked breads and homemade treats. But more than that, we hope it brings to mind cherished family memories, with each and every bite.

You may also be wondering: “Why make a white bread?”

For one thing, what’s more nostalgic of childhood than a good ol’ peanut butter and jelly sandwich on sliced white bread? But more importantly, we saw a need in the bread market for a high quality white bread—one that doesn’t crumble in your hands or stick to the roof of your mouth.

So Martin’s Old-Fashioned Real Butter Bread was born. Go ahead and enjoy it fresh out of the bag, use it for sandwiches, casseroles, and bread puddings, or try it with a simple coating of jam or butter.

Whatever you decide, we know you’ll taste the difference.
