The authentic taste of dark bread with toasted flours

Contadino mix is a complete blend for producing dark bread with a bold character, featuring mixed seeds (sunflower, sesame, flax) and toasted flours that give the bread its distinctive, rich toasted aroma, inspired by the rustic breads of Northern Europe. Live lactic acid bacteria enhance the crumb's melt-in-the-mouth texture, provide excellent chewability and help preserve freshness for longer, resulting in bread with a crisp crust and excellent volume.

Natural, clean-label complete mix for breadmaking.
Recommended for making dark bread with a toasted aroma and mixed seeds.

Live lactic acid bacteria and sourdough starter

The lactic acid bacteria are a group of “good” bacteria naturally present in sourdough starter alongside yeasts, with which they initiate and drive dough fermentation processes. In particular, the lactic acid bacteria in sourdough starter are responsible for lactic acid fermentation through which the sugars present in flours are converted into lactic acid (homofermentative lactic acid bacteria) or into lactic acid and acetic acid (heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria).
