In the making · In the workshop
The basis of the work at Fermentum is the choice of quality grains: the selected flours determine the structure and flavour of every product, from the bread to the savoury specialities.
The doughs follow natural leavening times, an approach that requires constant attention and that sets Fermentum's baking apart from that of a conventional bakery.
Alongside breadmaking, the workshop also produces scacce, focacce and a line of viennoiserie such as croissants: a balance between preparations rooted in Sicilian tradition and a more contemporary offering.
