Additional Information

Our immersive journey includes a learning session on bread baking, with a preceding introduction and profile of our business that has thrived in the locality for four generations. It all commences with the elaboration of the ingredients used, such as: the finest local semolina and sourdough starter. We proceed with visiting the baking studio where the lead baker outlines the bread-making methods: mixing, rising, shaping the loaves, and imprinting the distinctive stamp of Matera bread.

During the bread loaf preparation, visitors will get a chance to immerse themselves in the process by kneading and designing their own bread loaf, which they can take home post baking.
