Our baking journey began in an Israeli home kitchen, shaped by the traditions we grew up with. Nearly 15 years in Northern Italy — followed by time in Lyon — deepened our understanding of dough, technique, and craft. Baking has always been connected to mindfulness for us, a way to stay present through the hands, while enjoying a unique kind of fresh bread. Now based in Portugal, we continue exploring and slowly integrating the country’s exceptional local ingredients into our work.
