What is PANATURA® FORTE?

This blend of natural ingredients gives PANATURA® FORTE its unique characteristics.
Why choose PANATURA® FORTE?
PANATURA® FORTE offers numerous benefits, making it a top-notch choice for both industrial production and your neighbourhood artisan baker.
Firstly, PANATURA® FORTE is a user-friendly wheat pre-ferment or sourdough that can be added directly to the main dough without any complex preparations. It’s made from carefully selected ingredients to ensure the highest possible quality.
Moreover, PANATURA® FORTE is known for its long 72-hour fermentation period. The use of PANATURA® FORTE significantly speeds up dough development for the user, saving time and effort. The resulting doughs are silky-dry and non-sticky, making them easier to work with.
Bread baked with PANATURA® FORTE is distinguished by its robust crust and excellent slicing ability. Additionally, the freshness of these breads is maintained over a longer period, resulting in an extended shelf-life, reduced waste, and thus, making a substantial contribution to sustainability.
Another advantage of PANATURA® FORTE is its lower dosage, typically ranging from 2-4% of the flour quantity, compared to traditional wheat sponges/pre-ferments at 25-40%, leading to cost savings.
How is PANATURA® FORTE used?
Using PANATURA® FORTE is straightforward. It’s added directly to the main dough along with the other ingredients. This wheat pre-ferment is suitable for all yeast-raised products, especially those with high volume.
