Natural Fermentation: Our Core Expertise
As the French leader in the production of active sourdoughs, Philibert Savours builds its expertise on mastering natural fermentation through its Complex Microbial Ecosystem (CME), a mother sourdough developed naturally and spontaneously.
This biotechnology, combined with long fermentation times of up to twenty days in controlled tanks, allows us to produce active sourdoughs that are unique in the world, recognized for the richness and diversity of their aromatic profiles, their specific functionalities, and their typical, inimitable character.
In bakery and pastry, our sourdoughs improve texture, extend shelf life, optimize nutritional quality, and provide unparalleled color and flavor. This expertise makes Philibert Savours a preferred partner for all bakery and pastry professionals, from artisans to industrial producers.
Dehydration and roasting: mastering transformation
Philibert Savours is also an expert in the dehydration and roasting of sourdoughs and fruit purées. The dehydrated and roasted sourdoughs from our Terre d’Arômes range, along with our Toofruit® fruit concentrates, deliver intense aromatic, olfactory, and color impact, as well as optimal consistency - providing our clients with innovative and reliable solutions.
Packaging: from the smallest to the largest format
To ensure the quality and safety of our products, every stage of production is fully controlled, from the selection of raw materials to the packaging of finished products. This high standard, supported by our ISO certifications, guarantees rigorous traceability and consistent food safety.
Our packaging solutions are tailored to all bakery and pastry professions. From big bags to smaller, more specific formats, including modified atmosphere packaging, each solution is designed to meet the needs of both artisans and industrial producers. This flexibility allows us to adapt to our clients’ logistical and technical constraints, for both powdered products and liquid sourdoughs.
Thanks to this approach, we offer much more than packaging: a true lever for efficiency in the service of quality and creativity.
Consulting and Formulation: Customer Support
As a supplier for bakery and pastry, Philibert Savours goes beyond simply providing ingredients. We support both industrial and artisan producers in optimizing their production by offering comprehensive consulting, from the initial audit to operational implementation. This approach ensures performance, quality, and sustainability.
Research & Innovation serving Bakery and Pastry
Innovation is at the heart of our activity. Our Research Institute develops new products and processes by integrating nutritional, sensory, functional, and environmental aspects. Each sourdough and finished product undergoes in-depth analyses to characterize its microbiological composition, aromatic profile, and texture, while protecting our innovations through international patents.
These scientific advances are then brought to life in our Innovation and Application Center, where they are transformed into tangible solutions. Equipped with professional machinery dedicated to bakery, viennoiserie, and pastry, this center enables the design of new recipes, the adaptation of blends, and the validation of their performance under real conditions. We co-develop tailor-made solutions with our clients, whether they are artisans, chains, or industrial producers.
