Winner Of The Best Pa de Pagès Català With IGP 2017 Contest
Miquel Guich, who represents the third generation and is currently in charge of the bakery, integrates all his experience and knowledge in the business. Thanks to this and teamwork, it managed to win the 2017 edition of the Best Pagès Bread Contest of Catalonia.
While this has not been the only award, it has been the one that has most propelled the company to achieve its current growth.
At present, people appreciate and value the fact that the bread produced with the PGI seal is sold with the traditional paper bag and not a plastic bag, which guarantees the product. That is why they keep the seal of artisan bakery.

The secret of bread
The pa de pagès, in catalan (peasant bread, also known as village bread or rustic bread), is a typical bread of the Catalan gastronomy, Balearic Islands and the Valencian Community.
Pa de Pagès Català, prepared at Forn del Passeig, is made with sourdough and very unique raw materials that differentiate it from supermarket bread, gas station bread or local store bread.
It is not a product of technology or machinery, but of a differential element that is the hands of the kneader and the best artisan technique. That is why it is the best bread in the world.
