Thomas' Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Toasting Bread

While grocery shopping recently, I noticed that Thomas' Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Toasting Bread was on sale. Normally, this high quality bread is out of my price range, but the sale price was very reasonable, so I purchased one loaf.

This bread tasted even better than I remembered and I think it would be a good product to review. Presented here, as a service to the consumer at large, is an article which reviews and examines Thomas' Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Toasting Bread.

Size
The net weight of the standard sized loaf of Thomas' Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Bread is 15 ounces. The loaf contains 12 one slice servings. Although the loaf does not contain an abundance of slices, I think that the high quality of the bread offsets the size of the loaf.

Price
The regular retail price charged for one 15 ounce loaf of Thomas' Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Toasting Bread at Hartford, Connecticut area supermarkets is approximately $3.99 - $4.19. The price of this bread is way out of my normal price range, but if I see it on sale at substantial savings, I will occasionally purchase a loaf.

Of course, like anything else the price of this bread is relative. After all, this is a very tasty, high quality variety of bread. To some people, its price is irrelevant. The flavor, texture and overall quality of the product make up for its high price. If I could afford to, I would eat this bread on a regular basis.

Texture
When it comes to texture, Thomas' Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Bread offers a soft and slightly moist, yet firm consistency that is quite pleasing. When this bread is eaten just the way it is, untoasted, its texture is very enjoyable, but when it is toasted, this bread really shines.

This item is one of Thomas' Toasting breads and it sure does toast well. Right out of the toaster, topped with butter, vegetable oil spread or peanut butter, this bread offers a sublime mouth - feel.
