Charles Negaro is in for a memorable ride.

Chabaso, the popular New Haven-based artisan bread bakery, has re-opened a bakery outlet store in a new space at their bakery building, 360 James Street in New Haven, in the vicinity of the Amistad Academy Charter School.

The French have a name for it, that long, thin symbol of the city of light, that healthy, tasty, light and crusty icon of Parisian bread at its best – Baguette – the bread that goes to such great lengths to impress the world with its crunch.

Chabaso’s new bread packaging has barely hit store shelves, but has already won a prestigious industry award, taking silver from among thousands of world-wide entries in the 39th Annual Creativity Awards. One of the longest running international competitions in the world, the Creativity Awards is a showcase for the best in global graphic design and advertising.

The Chabaso success story began in 1995 as a labor of love by founder Charles Negaro, whose artisan bread has now become a staple on grocery market shelves throughout the Northeastern US. These all-natural breads are made with hand-baked care and an enduring commitment to community involvement.

Chabaso offers three great turkey recipes for Thanksgiving!

Chabaso Bakery, the fast-growing northeast regional artisan bread company known for taste and all-natural freshness, took "Best Service to the Stores – Perishables – 2009" award at Stop & Shop/Giant–Landover’s recent annual vendor meeting in Boston, MA.
