Since 2004

We are sons of a baker. After decades of producing every type of bread, I've decided to stop and dedicate myself entirely to createting a new concept: the "real bread". Now, after almost 20 years, I can say that it was the right choice.

Characteristics

Our sourdough is very active: with it we bake every day a real artisanal sourdough bread and it gives a very crunchy texture which melts in your mouth.
