We love bread!

3 ingredients are for its composition, flour-water-salt;

and to bake his bread, attention and time.

Galette, baguette or black bread, all regions of the world have their "bread", made from local cereals.

Over the years, however, new ingredients have been added to this first list to give the bread more elasticity, whiteness, for more speed in the making, more sugar.

A "modern" bread?

Publicity

Journalist, Italian, Adriano Farano, realized while baking his own bread, that modernity was not an asset in the matter.

He then embarked on a multi-year investigation into ancient bread and wheat which led him to write and open, in early 2020, the Pane Vivo bakery.

The breads are made there with ancient wheat flour and lively sourdough!  

Adriano Farano

is a baker journalist, author of "

I will not eat this bread

", published by Editions du Rouergue.
