Puratos helps Sir Benfro Bakery to awards success
Sir Benfro Bakery has gone from start-up to award winner in just nine months, after owner Kevin Reeve was crowned Welsh Baker of the Year at the Welsh National Baking Exhibition.
Sir Benfro Bakery's achievement is a perfect example of how Puratos can assist bakers in building their businesses. While we can't promise national awards for everyone, our ingredients and support provide the inspiration bakers need to create quality products and new taste sensations that will delight and excite their customers.
Kevin was awarded his title for his hot cross buns and vol-au-vonts, together with category wins in the Best New Idea and Granary Loaf national competitions, for his 800g Celtic Flower and 800g Malted loaves respectively. All were created using Puratos products, including our S500 Acti-Plus dough conditioner, Fidelio San Francisco sourdough flavour, and new Sublimo Glaze & Go - the world's first ready-to-use cold glaze.
According to award winner, Kevin Reeve, another key ingredient to his success was the one-to-one support provided by Puratos's technical demonstrator team. "Puratos has worked with us since day one; helping us to create new product and recipe ideas, such as our award-winning Celtic Flower loaf, as well as with how to get the very best from the ingredients we use," he says. "They understand our business and what we're trying to achieve, and share our passion for creating quality foods."
The Welsh National Baking Exhibition is open to master bakers throughout Britain, and has over 100 competition classes in bread, confectionery and savoury goods.
