Our specialty
Our chocolate and orange bread was born from the love of pairing two flavours that understand each other perfectly: pure cocoa, kneaded right into the dough, and pieces of sweet orange scattered all through the crumb.
It's neither a sponge cake nor a pastry: it's real bread, made with the same dough and the same care as all of our other loaves. With a crisp crust and a tender crumb, the cocoa lends colour and aroma and the orange leaves that fresh, fruity note that surprises you in every bite.
We knead the cocoa into the dough and shape every loaf by hand.
The workshop
The chocolate and orange bread is made exactly like all of our other breads: with the same ingredients and the same long cold fermentation that develops the flavour, improves keeping and gives a lighter, more digestible crumb.
The cocoa goes in during kneading so it colours the dough completely, and the orange pieces are added at the end, by hand, so they stay whole and evenly spread. The same quality bread as always, just with an indulgent twist.
Two flavours, one bread
Intense yet never cloying: bread for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or with coffee.
Flavour and texture
The secret is in the contrast: the gentle bitterness of the cocoa is balanced by the citrus sweetness of the orange, without one overpowering the other. The result is an indulgent yet light bread, perfect for dunking in a coffee or enjoying just as it is.
A tender, airy crumb with the colour of cocoa.
It's delicious freshly baked, but it's even better lightly toasted with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, which lifts the aroma of the orange and the cocoa. Ideal for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or alongside a good coffee.
The pairing of chocolate and orange is one of the great classics of baking: the citrus lifts the cocoa and softens its bitterness, which is why they work so well together.
