The bread by Thomas Marie

The smell and taste of bread are often buried deep in our memories. It is not uncommon to hear consumers say that bread tasted better back in the day... I think that it has never been as good as now!

Consumers are tired of insipid-tasting standardised food products. Therefore, we should not disregard the rich diversity of bread that we can offer; it presents such a variety of flavours:

  • strong-tastingbread,suchasalargeroundcrustyloafmade with sourdough and with an acidic flavour and a nicely caramelised crust,

  • a French traditional baguette made with proofing adds a slight taste of wheat and butter,

  • a rye tart speciality from Auvergne smelling of honey and ginger bread,

  • a roasted tasting whole grain loaf...

We have many organoleptic levers to convince the consumers, so let’s use them... And don’t forget to get them to taste your bread!!!
