We are delighted to be collaborating with artisan baker, Giovanni Di Sarno, who will join us aboard The Bread And Roses Barge once a week to bake fresh sourdough bread. 

Each week, the wonderful aroma of freshly baked bread will fill the barge as Giovanni creates sourdough loaves for our local community. Bringing together heritage and skilled baking, welcoming the spirit of the Bread and Roses Barge!

 

​The Culinary Adventures Of A Travelling Baker

​

Giovanni is a fourth generation Italian baker, born near Naples into a family with bread making at it's heart. He learned the craft from an early age in his family's bakery, guided by generations of knowledge and a deep respect for traditional methods. 

 

After training in Italy, Giovanni travelled the world and is now based in England, where he shares his knowledge through workshops in schools, bakeries and community spaces. He is a proud ambassador for the 'Real Bread Campaign'.

​

Giovanni believes that wonderful bread should be simple, honest and given the time it needs. His genuine sourdough is made using traditional fermentation, without unnecessary additives or preservatives.
