The complete mix for artisan panettone without chemical emulsifiers: Volare®

Volare® is the complete mix formulated for artisan bakers seeking ease of use and a high-quality finished product. Not just panettone and pandoro, but also colomba and veneziana: the versatility of Volare® makes it ideal for festive occasions throughout the year.

- Volare® consists of 2 mixes: Mix Madre, to be added to the first dough, and Mix Padre, to be used in the second - Both contain pre-measured ingredients, simplifying the artisan baker’s work and helping deliver excellent, easily repeatable results - The innovative enzyme formulation of Volare® holds the secret to its success: the yeast-raised cakes will be exceptionally soft and feel light from the very first bite

To further highlight the clean-label concept, Il Granaio delle Idee supplies 100 distinctive “artisan product without chemical emulsifiers” stickers with every Volare® order. Artisan bakers can apply them to the packaging of their festive yeast-raised cakes, enhancing their appeal and communicating this added value. A recipe book for making festive yeast-raised cakes is also included in the order.

The natural sourdough starter developed specifically for festive yeast-raised cakes: Madre 150 Lievitati

This is a dried sourdough starter for panettone, pandoro, colomba, veneziana and other festive yeast-raised cakes. Thanks to its special blend of carefully selected enzymes, it makes the dough more stable and easier to work with. Madre 150 Lievitati contains no chemical emulsifiers but harnesses the natural activity of enzymes, giving the finished product irresistible softness, unique flavour and aroma, an open crumb structure and excellent volume. Madre 150 Lievitati should be added to the first dough (150 g plus 850 g of strong flour) and is available in 10 Kg paper bags.
