Bread on the table has always taken an honourable place, and it symbolizes abundance.
Every loaf is hand-made
The bakery Lielezers was founded in 1991 as a family enterprise, when 16 employees started to work there. Our production is being more and more appreciated, currently around 130 independent workers, who account for about a day, 13,000 of bread loaf. The work is organized in 3 shifts. Our speciality is bread baking by ancestors’ recipes and methods, using manual labour. The baking process we follow could not be called innovative or effective. Just on the contrary, the slow baking process does not bother us and we do not use any enhancers to speed something up. Because only in this way it is possible to obtain natural, wholesome and tasty bread – bread with an exquisite and rich flavour.
Our speciality is rye breads - the source of strength and energy!
The bakery Lielezers has become one of the leading rye bread producers in Latvia. Its pride is a real rye bread which is baked by the ancient methods and recipes, and the value of which is comparable to the best class cognacs that are produced from special grape spirits and aged in wooden tubs. The scalded dough is prepared and ripened for twenty four hours in our made aspen-tree tubs which guarantee high quality and a unique taste of bread. In order to bake scalded bread, flour of special quality is needed, which we provide in our own mill. No appliances are used in dividing and forming the rye dough.
