Amandio PIMENTA (MOF)

ambassadeur-amandiopimenta

Amandio PIMENTA is not a baker like the others. It is not so much his title of best worker of France that characterizes him, as his talents as researcher.
His obsession is to restore the bread to its place of choice in his diet, demonstrating, day after day, its incomparable nutritional qualities. Convinced that health starts on the plate, this artisan never stops balancing his recipes to obtain a product rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
Thanks to the freshness of its ingredients, it gets much richer breads in certain micro nutrients.
At a time when the alicaments are taking up more and more space in our closets, it is good to review our classics: good bread made with quality flour, and a certain know-how: “It is a pleasure that wins to be daily”.
