Bakery
Tradition and technology go hand in hand at Carl Siegert. This combination is proving to be a golden partnership, with voracious demand for bread at home and abroad.
The Siegert tradition starts with organic ingredients, such as the organic wheat that is grown on Dutch soil. Added to this is the time-honoured virtue of patience. Just before it is used, the grain is ground very slowly to retain its aroma: this is as fresh as it gets. To make sure that the distinctive flavour of the bread develops fully, the dough undergoes a lengthy fermentation process. The bread is then baked, either in rotary ovens or in traditional stone-floor ovens that generate direct heat. Bread baked in this way develops the distinctive aroma and crisp crust that are so characteristic of delicious bread.
After baking, the bread is cooled off and passed into the shock-freeze chamber at a temperature of -35 °C. This guarantees that the bread remains fresh until the moment it is eaten.
