Why Fresh and Local Is So Important to Us

Why Fresh and Local Is So Important to Us

At Detavernier Bakery & Tearoom Carpe Diem, it’s all about quality, taste, and craftsmanship. We believe that the best products start with the finest ingredients. That’s why we deliberately choose fresh, local products of the highest quality. But why is this so important?

Fresh ingredients ensure the best taste

Freshness makes all the difference. Bread baked in the morning with fresh ingredients has a full, rich flavor and a delightfully crispy crust. Our pastries and viennoiseries are made without unnecessary preservatives, so you can taste the pure essence of artisanal craftsmanship.

Buying local is sustainable and supports the community

By working as much as possible with local farmers and suppliers, we contribute to a sustainable and fair food chain. We choose Belgian flour, fresh butter, and seasonal fruit from the region. This reduces our ecological footprint and supports local entrepreneurs who, like us, value quality.

Craftsmanship over mass production

In a world where industrial bakeries are increasingly dominant, we remain faithful to artisanal baking. Every bread, pastry, and cake is handmade, with attention to detail and a love for the craft. No mass production, just unique creations where passion and expertise are central.

Taste the difference!

Choosing fresh and local is not only better for the environment and community, it is above all a choice for flavor and quality. Visit our bakery or tearoom in Bruges and experience the difference of honest, artisanal products for yourself.
