The Altamura Bread

Research indicates that consumers around the world fondly remember the bread of the good old days, the bread that Grandma used to put on the table. However, when asked to describe this, they fail to do so.
This is why Puratos started to investigate what the bread of the good old days probably looked like. We discovered a reference to the “best bread” in the world by the Roman poet Horace in 37 BC. He wrote that the “best bread in the world” is Altamura bread, from the Puglia Region in Italy. In Horace’s time, bread was made with four key ingredients: water, flour, salt and ... sourdough. Sourdough provides a fantastic flavor and great texture. This is rather similar to local wines, beers and cheeses that result from fermentation of local micro-organisms in a micro climate. By using durum wheat from Altamura in combination with local micro-organisms, Puratos created O-tentic Durum, our greatest baking innovation since the launch of S500 in 1975. We used the latest fermentation technology, based on years of research, to capture the spirit of Altamura and make it available to the rest of the world.
