About us
Created in 1998 by Jean Kircher, Pains & Tradition is a family business that defends the ancient rules of baking.
Our production is based on human hand, without automation or digital programming, without artifices or improvers. Pains & Tradition is the culmination of these 25 years of patient construction of an ethics and a philosophy of quality... without compromise. That’s the kind of bread we invite you to discover: healthy, natural and delicious!
Pains & Tradition has been certified “Slow Baking” since 2004, meaning we use a manufacturing method truly compliant with the tradition and which applies the know-how of our ancestors:
- The use of real natural leavens
- Slow kneading
- Long fermentation at room temperature
- Manual shaping
We choose organic ingredients in order to further promote products free of all non-natural materials.
