chambelland breads

chambelland® breads are organic*, naturally gluten-free, fermented with natural yeast, and made with rice and buckwheat flours. They combine hard-to-resist taste qualities with excellent nutritional values. As tradition makes room for technical innovation, round loaves and baguettes are making room for tasty rectangular-shaped loafs. Instead of simply copying existing shapes, Chambelland bakers are ushering in a different conception of bread.(*ECOCERT certified).

from the grain of rice to bread

Rice, packed with goodness

The innovative concept behind the chambelland firm stems from a simple observation: although rice is the most frequently-consumed cereal in the world and is naturally gluten-free, it was still not used to make bread. And yet this ancient, eminently nutritious grain was just waiting to be used.

After extensive research, chambelland selected an organic, whole-grain, non-broken Japonica rice. The results was a bread free of chemical additives that was also, of course, gluten-free. One major advantage is that this raw material is grown nearby, on the Po Plain, thereby guaranteeing a seasonal product and a small carbon footprint.

Rice is packed with energy and essential nutrients, and its low glycaemic index means it sates hunger for longer. It is good for the planet, good for people’s health and, most importantly, good tasting: rice flour has a sweet coumarin scent that produces subtly-flavoured bread.

What if our bread was made with a gluten-free ingredient, contained no chemical additives, was organic, scented and tasty, had excellent nutritional value and was compatible with sustainable development?
It was something the chambelland firm had dreamed of and finally found: rice!

how chambelland bread is made

A challenge for bakers

The innovative approach adopted by the chambelland firm is nevertheless strictly in line with traditional baking practices. Without any attempt to revise the basics or make compromises, bread is nothing more or less than the equation: flour + water + baking.

What sets the chambelland approach apart is the combination of know-how rooted in traditional baking techniques using natural yeast, and a technical feat: making bread from rice flour that was said to be unsuitable for breadmaking. It required a solid grounding in biology to develop an unprecedented process that gives chambelland bread a very thick crust but a crumb that is light and airy.

Once that had been achieved, nothing could stand in the way of chambelland’s creativity.

« It began with the historic, symbolic profession of baking.
After that, it was our interest in rice and our love of bread that laid the foundations for chambelland.»
Thomas Teffri-Chambelland
