Tasteful protein-enriched bread

Today, Carezzo has surpassed the benefits of simple nutrition by creating a protein-enriched product that has exhibited a significant preference over regular bread in consumer taste tests.

Research in the European Bakery Innovation Centre (EBIC) proved the technological feasibility of increasing the protein level in bread to 17%, which is 60–100% more than regular bread. The amino acid profile is balanced on the "gold standard" of the chicken egg, and based on vegetable proteins. Thanks to its advances, Carezzo can make the nutritional claim "rich in protein" about its bread.

The food preferences of seniors aged 55 and over, have recently been studied using the SenTo consumer taste panel (Food and Biobased research – Wageningen UR) with regard to this newly developed protein-enriched bread. The protein-enriched  bread had a stronger bread taste and was less salty, as opposed to the standard bread that was perceived as more salty and lacking in bread taste. The study concluded that the newly developed protein-enriched bread performed well when compared with the selected standard bread, and that elderly consumers suffering from olfactory impairment expressed a more pronounced preference for the Carezzo bread than elderly and young consumers without sensory impairment 

Carezzo has developed  a variety of breads.
