August is a delicious month for food lovers, with the intersection of National Sandwich, National Panini Month and National Rye Month! With countless sandwich varieties to explore, you can celebrate this food holiday every day in August

The sandwich has a rich history that goes back much further than the 18th-century aristocrat who gave it its name, the Earl of Sandwich. Ancient traditions, like the Jewish sage Hillel the Elder’s practice of wrapping lamb and bitter herbs in unleavened bread, are early forms of what we now know as a sandwich. Early “wraps” also have roots in both Asia and Africa.

The modern sandwich gained popularity among the aristocracy in the 18th and 19th centuries, reportedly as a convenient food to hold with one hand during late-night card games.

Here a few of the best Sourdough Sandwiches which we have currated for your dining pleasure:

CELEBRATE NATIONAL PANINI MONTH with Abigail’s Oven Sourdough Bread!     

Originating in Italy, the panini, a grilled sandwich often made with unsliced bread, has a surprisingly rich history. While an early version of the panini appeared in a 16th-century Italian cookbook, it didn’t truly gain popularity until the 1970s and 80s, when a stylish youth subculture in Milan called the “paninari” embraced it as their signature food. This group, known for their colorful fashion and love of fast food, would gather in trendy panini bars, and their influence became so widespread that it even inspired the Pet Shop Boys to record a song called “Paninaro” in their honor. Today, the panini remains a beloved classic, enjoyed by many as a hot, melty masterpiece.
