The Future of Bread Lies in its Past

To chart baking traditions and unlock breads’ full potential, Puratos embarked on a ‘Quest for Sourdough’ around the world. Karl De Smedt lives this quest every day. He is Puratos’ dedicated ‘Sourdough Librarian’, traveling the world in search of old bread traditions and preserving the sourdoughs in the Puratos Sourdough Library since 2013. 

This Quest around the world inspires us to develop a unique range of sourdoughs and specialty grains that allow you to bake traditional breads, and create your future.

Puratos’ portfolio of ‘Future of Bread ingredients” brings authenticity and taste to your breads. Whether you focus on every day breads or the premium loaves, you’ll always find an ingredient in our range that helps your business grow best. It all starts with creating that ‘Rustic Style’ look, taste, texture and building your story. And at the start of these characteristics are 4 simple ingredients: flour, water, salt and O-tentic. O-tentic has a rich history based on Italian tradition. By adding 4% of O-tentic Durum in your dough, you can re-create the authentic aroma and quality of Italian breads in any bakery item. And if you want to personalize it, or go for the healthiest breads, just add Sapore
and Specialty Grains. Our range reflects the variety that sourdough and grains has to offer so that you can grow your business with ingredients perfectly matching your bakery.
