Raw Material
We have long understood the importance of our raw material, just as we do in the roastery. Having respect for the farmers and millers who create our raw materials, and appreciating their hard work and craftsmanship is a core part of what we do. We understand that flour isn’t simply a commodity, and that each bag we open is a responsibility to the talented people that have gone before us. Being inspired by them, and carrying their voice and product to the final consumer in the most transparent way possible, is one of our aims with our bakeries.
Sourdough bread
Our bread is the authentic reflection of our philosophy. It showcases the purity, simplicity and ethics we wish to be associated with, while we highlight a nordic heirloom wheat. We believe that small-scale food production with quality ingredients sourced as close to home as practically possible is the best way forward for a sustainable food system that prioritises superior taste.
Process
Our bread takes days to mature, and is 100% naturally leavened. Aside from being a very idealistic and romantic approach to bread production, the process is an incredible thing to witness. Slow-proofing bread results in loaves of exceptional quality and wonderful flavour development. The result is a light and hearty bread, with a deeply-coloured crust from the well-developed sugars in the dough, a sweet and slightly tangy flavour, and a wild, irregular, custardy crumb structure.
Pastry
Just as the case with bread, we believe that pastry production needs to be a cornerstone of our work and a reflection of our philosophy. We emphasise local, organic ingredients and reject the use of processed artificial colours and flavour compounds commonly used in pastry production.
Philosophy
Our vision is an innovative pastry that blends both traditional and modernist techniques and flavours, working with what is available seasonally, minimally processed and emphasising single portion pieces such as individual tarts or petit gâteaux. We avoid artificial colours and flavours, frozen purées, additives and preservatives, decorations or visual elements that mask the integrity of the product, its preparation, and ultimately how it tastes.
