Ambropek

When we think of bread-making🥖, wheat naturally comes to mind as the most common ingredient - and for good reason! Globally🌍, around 70-80% of the grain used for bread is wheat, while the remaining portion includes other grains like rye, corn, oats, barley, and spelt. Locally, in our region and in Germany, rye is widely used alongside wheat, and there are many regional variations worldwide. Nevertheless, wheat remains unchallenged in its leading position. 🥇

Our Chief Technologist, Alexander Jaško👱♂️, loves sharing interesting facts about our company! Did you know that we bake an average of 117 000 products to perfection every day at our factory in Dunajská Streda? Even we’re amazed by that number sometimes! 👀🧡

Our products can be used in countless ways if you're not afraid to experiment!☝ Just look at this beauty: garlic, mushrooms, tomatoes, and avocado spread - and that's it! Perfect for any dinner.😋

Why did we decide to use sourdough in our baking process?🤔 One of the reasons is that bread made with real sourdough generally stays fresh longer🕰 than commercially leavened bread, due to the natural fermentation process. On average, a properly made sourdough loaf can stay fresh for 4 to 5 days at room temperature, compared to the typical 2-3 days for bread made with commercial yeast. Oh yes, and it is much healthier too!😋

Bread, butter, salt - and nothing else.🧡 We love experimenting with food, but sometimes it is good to return to the basics. If you choose the right bakery product, even this classic combination will become a heavenly dish.😋

Pinch a few grapes🍇 at this year's harvest, or simply buy some at the local market and taste a truly special combination!😋 For completeness, you will need some more figs, cream cheese and, of course, most of all, a delicious slice of bread🥖 from Ambropek.

We have more than 50 types of bakery products in our portfolio and preparing all these is no small logistics challenge.🚚 As our chief technologist, Alexander Jaško👱♂️ revealed to us, currently we have more than 30 suppliers in the region, mostly from Slovakia and some from Hungary. We always try to find partners as close to us as possible to support local companies who produce only the best ingredients. 🧡

These days aren´t going to be about spending time in nature, but rather about hiding at home and watching the rain pour. ☔🌧 We can only recommend you to accompany your hot cup of coffee☕ or tea🍵 with one of our delicious products.🥐

Your children probably also like to take a tasty sandwich to school 🥪🎒, as it is practical, nutritious and endlessly variable. However☝, it is worth paying attention to use the right bakery product for the sandwich, preferably one with real sourdough. So the meal will not only be tasty, but also healthier. 😋

"Oh, just one more thing" - as Inspector Columbo 🤔❔ used to say. We reached out to our chief technologist with a new question: we wanted to know that how much of our special sourdough is stored and ready to use at our factory at any given time. 👱♂️ - "Our total sourdough storage capacity is approximately 5 tons. Of course, this does not mean that we always have this much fully mature sourdough at our disposal. We use three containers, one contains the finished sourdough, the second contains the almost fully matured batch that we will use soon, and the third contains the new sourdough that will slowly mature. If the currently used container runs out, we mix the next dose, thus ensuring that the necessary amount is always available."
