Our story
Family
We are a small artisan bakery at the southern tip of Spain, near Tarifa, Cádiz. In 1998, led by an idealistic, well-travelled German woman, we began baking traditional German bread with a local touch. Over time our range grew to more than 30 breads and 30 cakes, adapted to dietary needs and made with organic ingredients. Since 2014 most of our products have organic certification, and we remain true to our principles of durability, health, integrity and sustainability.
Once upon a time there was a small bakery that started out selling its bread in a surf shop.
We inherited our original recipe from a large, self-sufficient German family living in a remote Argentinian village. Their welcoming home felt like travelling back in time. The wood-fired oven warmed the whole room while flour, salt, cumin and other seeds came together to make delicious bread. Barter was their currency and their way of life.
Bread is a staple food for many peoples, and there is a huge variety of recipes around the world. As a German emigrant living in Andalusia, I began to miss German bread. I thought I could not be the only one, so in 1998 we baked our first loaves, at first for German tourists visiting the beaches of Cádiz. In Germany bread does not just accompany every meal: with cold meats, cheese and jam it becomes a dish in its own right. That is what we wanted our bread to be: a complete, irresistible food born from the fusion of German recipes and local produce.
German bread with an Andalusian heart
We settled on a farm in the countryside, an old Cádiz mill that still had its wood-fired oven. Our bread soon became popular in the area. We started with two breads, sunflower seed and sesame. Little by little the family grew with other seeds and then other grains such as rye and spelt. Today we bake around 30 kinds of bread that our customers can find at different points of sale. We also make bread to order and, thanks to your requests, many «made-to-measure» breads for specific dietary needs (yeast-free, wheat-free, gluten-free, salt-free…).
To our breads we have added a wide range of cakes and pastries that keeps on growing thanks to your interest and support. We love starting from traditional recipes to make delicious, healthy and nourishing food. Our range suits different diets, including vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free and low-fat products. Our aim from day one has been long-lasting, healthy, organic, wholegrain food with an international and a local touch.
