Baking tradition since 1894
Bäckerei Bertermann GmbH is a fifth-generation family business from Minden with a baking tradition dating back to 1894. In the company's own bakery in Minden, fresh breads, rolls, cakes and gateaux are produced every night using traditional production methods. The company processes grain from the Minden-Lübbecke mill district, where a large number of functioning mills still exist today – flour from sun-ripened regional grain has been the foundation of the products since the company's founding. Typical of production are long dough resting times and in-house sourdough cultures, including rye sourdough and Italian Lievito Madre. Industrial premixed mixes, artificial additives and accelerants are avoided. The company operates 47 branches in North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony and provides training in the bakery, retail, organization and technology.
