Our ingredients

Since 1973 we have bought from suppliers we trust and processed everything ourselves in our bakery. Below are the eight ingredients our catalogue is built on, and the products you’ll find them in.

Almond pastries coated in chopped pistachios, laid out by hand on the baking tray

We follow our nuts from start to finish

We buy them ourselves and look after every step of the supply chain, right up to the moment they’re ready to become cream.

  1. SelectionWe choose the raw ingredient, batch by batch.
  2. RoastingIn our bakery, before anything else is done.
  3. GrindingUntil we have a pure paste.
  4. CreamsBlended here, for our cakes and for our jars.

Most of it goes into our own products, but we also supply the same paste to gelaterias and pastry shops.
