I don't know, but the crust is nicer. We have bread bags that I buy for
friends in the US. They are useful for hearty loaves uncut, mostly. It's a
drawstring bag with two layers of cottom seoarated by a layer of holey
plastic. It can still mold eventually, and if it does it needs a good hot
water and detergent washing, hang on line. Or out the window or whatever
you do besides a dryer. A smaller version is for hard cheese which isn't
usually refrigerated.
