Why Unibake - Premium, Freshly Made Breads
We help your signature sandwiches stand apart with our bakery expertise and a portfolio of artisan breads of all sizes, shapes and flavors crafted in authentic European tradition.
FROZEN vs FRESH
More and more consumers prefer warm, freshly baked premium bread all day long.
Bread is more than a sandwich carrier—it’s a component that represents the quality of what’s being offered. Euro-Bake artisan sandwich breads, crafted by master bakers, are baked and immediately frozen until you need them, so that you are always offering a quality experience to your guest.
Advantage of Frozen versus Freshly Delivered
• Decreased waste and reduced costs since there’s less chance of product going stale before use – only thaw what you need
• Keep multiple types of breads “fresh” and on hand
• Conveniently warm or bake-off as needed for freshly baked breads in minutes
• Respond quickly to spikes in traffic
• Offer your customer a natural product. Freezing is a natural preservative – no need for bad tasting chemical preservatives, like calcium propionate.
Flexibility. Quality. Waste Reduction.
