TODAY AS YESTERDAY

We take our time. For the last 15 years, we have been stressing the importance of investing 72 hours of patient work into preserving flavors and respecting the sensory characteristics of leavened products. We ensure the quality of our production process at every single step by following a method that relies on grandpa Tranquillo’s traditional baking secrets.

Production process

2REFRESHING EVERY 6 TO 12 HOURS.
3THE SOURDOUGH PROCESS.The dough mixing is followed by rising a number of times, after a portion of the so-called “starter” dough has been fed with water and flour. The secret lies in the experience of the baker.
41st DOUGH MIXING, FOLLOWED BY RISING.Gradual and slow addition of the basic ingredients: flour, water, eggs, sugar and butter.
52nd and 3rd DOUGH MIXING, FOLLOWED BY RISING.
