Success has never tasted this good.
Sunbury Ottimo Bakery can boast that its award-winning loaves are among the best in Victoria, with the bakery taking home three first places and also being crowned the Most Successful Specialty Bread Category Winner at the 2025 Bendigo Baking Showdown, held at the Bendigo Agricultural Show.
Ottimo’s ciabatta-sourdough, baguette-sourdough and their roast pumpkin sourdough loaf all took home gold, while its white loaf won silver, and olive and rosemary sourdough loaf took home bronze.
Bakery owner Bec Brenmer said it was all possible because of her team.
“We entered five breads and we were awarded placings for each which was really cool,” she said.
“I’m so proud of our team.”
Ms Brenmer said herself and her team of bakers bake every loaf onsite in Sunbury, with wild ferment levain, organic and sustainably sourced flour, salt, and a whole lot of heart.
She said her products also work for a lot of people with a gluten sensitivity.
“That’s our main point of difference,” she said.
