La Panetteria di Viscuso

Our Artisan bread is superior in taste, texture, appearance and aroma to its mass produced counterpart. Flavour and aroma: As most artisan breads rely on traditional fermentation of yeast or cultures, this allows greater flavour development. Artisan bakers may also work complementary spices or herbs into their dough to further enhance the taste and aroma. Crumb and structure: If you cut open a mass-produced loaf of bread, you’ll typically see a closed structure and dry crumb. With artisan breads, you’ll typically find more alveoli (air pockets) that are evenly distributed, and a stronger, more hydrated crumb. Health benefits: Artisan bread may also be better for your gut – especially sourdough. Longer fermentation allows the enzymes in bread to begin to break down gluten, which is not easily digestible for most people.
