BONPAIN Information

BONPAIN started out as a small family business and has been at the forefront of the Belgian organic food movement since the 1970s. Today it serves a considerable number of organic supermarkets, restaurants and traiteurs with handmade breads and pastries of the highest quality. An artisan organic bakery, it treats each ingredient with the utmost respect and transforms these into quality products by applying traditional techniques. While quality and respect remain the undisputed pillars and essence of BONPAIN, João Martins, founder of the bakery, has elevated the artisan way of baking to a superior level. Thanks to his long-term vision for sustainable production practices and an obsession to strive for the ‘best bread possible’ he has been able to give technological innovation a vital role in his company. Applied with the finesse, which the respect for the artisan handcraft demands, he has been able to wholly eliminate artificial substances and procedures through technological innovation with the result of including only the purest ingredients, strictly free of artificial flavours yet full of complex aromas and healthy nutrients in his breads and pastries. This know-how has been successfully transferred to the sister bakery, BONSÆNS, which is specialized in delicious gluten free and mostly vegan products.
