The art of bread in the South Tyrol region comes from an ancient know-how that we at the Sassongher scrupulously safeguard and preserve.
At the Sassongher Hotel the good morning begins with the scent of bread.
We nurture good relationships with the local bakers who, with skill and experience, have taught us day-by-day to recognise, evaluate and appreciate the quality of the many types of bread that we offer our guests.
The fragrance and scent of the bread that enriches the offers at the Hotel Sassongher tables is the result of a process taking many days, there being numerous activities necessary for achieving that unforgettable taste and aroma. Selecting the characteristics of the flours, the use of pure mother yeast and its variants, the care and handling of the dough, the fundamental attention paid to the leavening, pre-cooking, baking and advice for the perfect preservation, are the steps that our selected bakers Gasser and Seppi undertake with unconditional love for their craft.
This is the same love we put into every detail at the Sassongher, starting with preparing the breakfast buffet, offering a wide range of sweet and savoury delicacies accompanied by a rich selection of inviting types of bread. Because a great day starts with a good morning!
Bread from Trentino at the Sassongher,
Gastronomy at the Sassongher is an essential aspect.
We pay attention to every single detail with quality, seeking out a variety of culinary offerings. This begins with the South Tyrol bread offer. We are truly ambitious in our quest for excellence when it comes to this precious foodstuff that forms the basis of our cuisine. Available in a wide range of varieties, our bread ensures an unrivalled choice of shapes, flavours and pleasures to the touch and smell: bread with walnuts, bread with sunflower seeds, bread with pumpkin seeds and rye bread – just to mention a few of what is on offer. Their scents welcome our guests to breakfast, whilst the flavours delight the palate by giving the right energy. Every morning is a feast for the senses!
Start the day with the right enjoyment and energy to best savour your holiday.
Food trends. Rye bread.
At the Hotel Sassongher, we pay close attention to healthy food trends. Trentino bread, a simple and complete element, must have a fundamental quality guaranteed. In making our selection, we favour the types of bread that use long-forgotten ancient grains transformed using industrial baking.
Amongst these, we are particularly focused on the tradition of our valley, where once was found a grain that continues to be cultivated in some areas of our region: rye. Rye bread, which is referred to in these parts as “pane nero” (“black bread”) has a characteristic taste, being slightly acidic but very aromatic. In Val Badia, we have a particular black rye bread which is called “puccia”. This is a delicacy when accompanied by cured and smoked meats such as speck, or with jams made from fruits such as redcurrants or wild strawberries.
Rye bread has excellent nutritional properties, being rich in mineral salts such as phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and calcium. With a lower protein content than wheat, this food has a high energy load that is ideal for commencing the day, for peaceful days spent outdoors and for an active life spent in the mountains. Great for those seeking additional fortitude and for anyone wanting to achieve euphoria at the psycho-physical level!
The pleasure of taste – vote for the bread you prefer
The bread from the Trentino Alto Adige region at the table is a matter of heart. Each guest can seek out his or her favourite bread.
Like the extensive Wine List, the Sassongher bread selection offers a wide range of products. Hence, an invitation: write to us and let us know your favourite bread – we will be happy to check the availability for you and if not present, be sure to make enquires with our master bakers, Gasser in La Villa and Seppi in Corvara.
The Gasser bakery supplies the Sassongher with delicate “ciabatta”, whilst the black rye breads, including the traditional “puccia”, are created by the Seppi bakery. Tradition and quality guaranteed.
