Continente celebrates world bread day with offer to its customers
Continente stores* will mark World Bread Day, October 16th, with the offer of 1 Triticale bread to all customers who purchase 1 Continente Rustic Bread, in a partnership with the national producers of Alentejo (ANPOC).
Triticale bread is produced from triticale and wheat flours, both from the Alentejo, to which is added only water, yeast and salt. This bread has a dense crumb, with more moisture and a darker shade, contains no additives and is a source of fiber and protein. All of this results in a very tasty bread and with less salt (1g of salt per 100g of bread).
Bread is the most popular food in the world, being present in various meals, as well as being the most versatile food, giving origin to numerous recipes. This offer translates into a symbolic initiative from Continente, to celebrate World Bread Day, sharing the best that is done in Portugal, with regard to national production.
Continente’s purchases from domestic producers have increased steadily, and in 2019 another 4 thousand tonnes of wheat from Alentejo were acquired, whose flour is used daily to produce fresh bread in Continente stores.
Continente Producers Club’s goal is to provide national products of excellence to customers, resulting from a partnership work with producers, supported by technical and scientific knowledge and which allows to align the offer with the consumption trends. The Club is also committed to supporting local production, to small scale producers, managing to supply some stores in Continente’s retail chain, thus resulting in an offer of “Products from the Region”.
