With us, this bread not only becomes the protagonist of family gatherings, it also becomes the ideal companion for breakfast at the office or the perfect choice to share a little piece of Mexico.
This bread is more than a delight to the palate, it is also a testament to the cultural diversity that has permeated Mexico's culinary history. Did you know that the rich tradition of Mexican baking dates back to pre-Hispanic times? Back then, bread was very different from the bread we enjoy today. It took various forms, such as cooked corn tortillas, known as 'cocollí', a term that comes from the Nahuatl language and means "twisted bread".
And how did it evolve into the characteristic bread we have enjoyed throughout our lives? Well, this happened with the arrival of the Spaniards, who introduced European wheat, an ingredient that transformed the Mexican diet as it merged with the country's rich variety of flavors and customs.
However, the great transformation of bread in Mexico occurred with the influence of French bakers, who brought with them recipes such as brioche, a sweet dough composed of wheat flour, yeast, sugar, salt, milk or water, eggs and butter. This European adaptation laid the foundations for the creation of Mexican breads, giving rise to a wide variety of delicacies that delight our senses and connect us with our roots.
At La Concha Bakery, you will not only find delicious breads, but also symbols of tradition, nostalgia and the richness of cultural fusion in Mexican cuisine. Every Concha and every bread that comes out of our oven is a tribute to our roots, every bite is a journey through time and a tribute to the love found in every Mexican home.
