Well, sourdough is the best bread you can possibly eat, the easiest one to digest, as you

are rightfully noticed. And this is all due to fermentation, of course.

Is gluten-free sourdough a fake marketing tactic? That's just one topic we're discussing today in the

interview that I have with Elena from Izio Bakery. We are diving deep in all things sourdough,

fake versus real, how to spot fake sourdough, common myths, and so much more. Today's interview is so inviting.

I cannot wait for you all to listen. So let's dive right in.

Well, thank you so much, Elena, for joining me today.

You're very welcome. I'm very happy to be here and I hope you can understand my accent, which is very tricky.

It's beautiful.

Where are you from?

Well, originally I am from the most unpopular country in the whole world, Russia.

And how long have you been here in the States?

For nearly 10 years or something. Wow, Russia. And how long have you been here in the States? For nearly 10 years or something.

Wow. Wow. And why don't you just introduce yourself and explain to all of my listeners

who you are and what you do? Well, I am Elena and I work with Isio Artisan Bakery.

Since I moved to United States, I've been working in a CPG or consumer packaged goods industry

for like all the time that I've been living here.

And before that, I've been working in a fitness industry. So I used to run the

gyms as a manager and I'm still certified as a personal trainer under NASA National Academy of

Sports Medicine here in the States. I don't work like one anymore, so now it's just a passion.

Right. But I'm still very interested in industry and, of course, track all the trends

and nutritional trends too. Wonderful. And so today I have a few questions about sourdale. We're going to dig right into it.
