Why choose crystal bread?

Crystal bread is a contemporary product, originally from Catalonia, which has become more and more popular throughout Spain. If you want to know why it’s such a winner, read on.

Crystal bread is a new variety of bread created just a few years ago in Barcelona. And the fact is that, although this bread has become very popular in recent years, it was actually invented just a few decades ago in Barcelona. Despite this, today it is a food with all the qualities of traditional bread and some other advantages that have made it a regular on any menu.

Bread, it comes as no surprise, is part of the Mediterranean culture. On the tables of each house, in restaurants; for a lunch or snack; or to mop up a delicious dish, it has accompanied people since Creation. But crystal bread slightly revolutionises all this.

Its characteristics and organoleptic peculiarities are what most differentiate it from any other bread. To begin with, its crust. Compared to other types of bread,  crystal bread  has a very particular crust, which is thin and very crunchy. It’s the ultimate crust enthusiast’s bread, without a doubt.

But, if there’s something that really defines crystal bread above all else, it’s the delicious crumb. Its main characteristic is that it consists large alveoli that make the crumb very light, hence it’s especially suitable for those who prefer to make sandwiches with little crumb, for example. For all these reasons, crystal bread is a delicate and sophisticated product and it’s suitable, of course, for all palates due to its excellent and smooth flavour.

Frozen doughs, on the other hand, allow crystal bread, to retain all its qualities. Made with 100% natural ingredients, olive oil and sourdough, crystal bread has a delicious flavour and aroma, and is as quick as it is easy to prepare. So you’ve no reason at all not have this type of pre-baked bread at your establishment.
