For me, good bread means:

A reason to share a beautiful moment with friends. It must have a good taste, a soft crumb and a recognizable crunch. The perfect company for a delicious plate of cheese (unpasteurized) and a beautiful bottle of wine (produced through natural fermentation). The beginning of a sublime culinary experience.

I work at Pains & Tradition since: Novembre 2008

For me, good bread means:

“First of all a moment of pleasure, a food that we share and that can accompany any kind of dish, from traditional to more refined. So there must be a guarantee of quality from both an organoleptic point of view and with regard to health. That is why I work every day to a quality approach that guarantees the respect of these fundamental principles for our customers. “
