From a delicate bakery to successful quality brand

It all started with the brilliant idea of no longer making breadcrumbs from stale bread, but only from fresh white bread baked especially for this purpose. That was the starting signal for an unprecedented success story. The bakery became a brand manufacturer that is completely committed to the philosophy of "quality through freshness".
