Kirkland Signature Cranberry Walnut Bread is a large, rustic round loaf weighing 2 pounds (32 ounces) with an 8-inch diameter. This artisanal-style bread features a golden-brown crust with hand-scored triangle design and a dense, moist interior packed with fresh walnuts and dried cranberries throughout. The bread combines earthy undertones from rye and barley with lightly sweet and gently tangy flavors from the cranberries, creating a more tart profile compared to traditional raisin bread.

The loaf is made using a hybrid sourdough method with both natural sour culture and conventional yeast, resulting in a crispy exterior and soft, gray-tinted crumb. It's incredibly versatile, working well toasted with butter, as sandwich bread (particularly with turkey and cranberry sauce), paired with cheese or jams, or prepared as French toast. The bread freezes exceptionally well for extended storage and can be reheated at 350°F for 20 minutes.
