California Lavash: The artisan of the group, this Gilroy-based company makes flatbreads just thick enough to hold a thin layer of pizza fixings, and others thin enough to keep the meal light. Its lineup includes whole wheat, plain, spinach, and even pizza-flavored bread. I like that these breads, no matter the thickness, are moist and tender, but not flabby. They have substance and a fresh wheat flavor.” ****
