Nature, wheat, man, bread, the most precious gold. If wheat has always been considered the symbol of fertility, Sicily is the treasure chest that over the centuries has preserved all the richness of natural gold.

BAKERY In a modern industrial reality, a bread with a high degree of craftsmanship is produced: only durum wheat semolina, water, salt and "criscenti" sour yeast to guarantee the typical sensory characteristics of Sicilian bread with a slightly sour taste and the smell of wheat. . So typical industrial quality, typical artisan flavor. Thirty bakers expertly coordinated by the production manager guarantee an average daily production of 150 quintals on three modern bakery lines. Fresh line They are products baked daily that retain their fragrance and freshness for several days if properly stored. The secret? It all lies in the high protein content of the semolina which, combined with a slow and prolonged natural leavening, favors an optimal hydration of the gluten mesh and the consequent prolongation in the time of stale: the bread is still good after five days from the date of production. The sliced bread loaves, the company's flagship product, also ensure practicality and ease of use. Finally, the micro-perforated packaging guarantees a considerable degree of hygiene and optimal transpiration of the products.
