▀ Much appreciated bread quality:
Fine gourmets or not, consumers will always love tasty bread. The hand-crafted flavour of a sourdough product
is popular as the crunchiness of the crust, irregular air cell structures in the dough and its cream colour give it a
more rustic feel, reminiscent of old-style bread.
The loaves obtained are consistent, rich, with a slightly sour taste that can be softened with more «lactic» flavours
by adjusting the «starter» used and the temperature.
▀ Better bread storage:
Generally speaking, sourdough bread is stored better and keeps for longer.
Like a human being who becomes more rapidly dehydrated when he or she perspires, bread dries more quickly
when there are many moisture exchanges between the dough and crust.
In the case of sourdough bread, this is considerably reduced. During cooling,
for example, it only loses 5% of its weight in moisture, as opposed to an
average of around 20% for «conventional» yeast bread.
▀ Easier mechanisation and working of dough:
Using natural leaven shortens the kneading time.
As the glutinous tissue is much more structured, mechanical
operations are easier: cutting is sharper, the dough is less
sticky and scarification is simplier.
▀ FERMENTOLEVAIN : a name that has become part of baking history
In 1994, Bertrand-Puma marketed its first Fermentolevain, thus reproducing the natural bread-making process.
Considered to be revolutionary, this invention offered a new approach to taste and flavours and received the
Innovation Trophy at the Europain trade fair.
Professionals took a keen interest in it, having rapidly understood the advantages it could offer to make an
alternative to «industrial» bread. It is a way of resisting standardisation of taste and of focusing on genuine
baking know-how.
A «legend» was born and the name Fermentolevain or «Fermento» soon became a reference, even becoming
part of the trade’s everyday vocabulary.

«With the Fermentolevain, I can control the taste of my bread, save
money while making all the dierence!»
Some will say that you don’t need a machine to make natural sourdough bread... They’re right!
However, a conscientious professional will strive to obtain a sourdough bread of constant quality and taste
in irreproachable hygiene conditions.
▀ The right quantity, at the right time:
The Fermentolevain range guarantees that your natural
sourdough capacity matches your production.
All our Fermentolevain models allow you to keep your
basis leaven for several days and produce
refreshed leaven in the strictest hygiene conditions.
All of them, even with the smallest bowl capacity
have a heating pipe and cooling coil designed to
promote maturing and storage of natural sourdough.
You can modulate storage length to adapt to your leaven
production and work hours.
▀ Control the flavour of your bread:
Controlling the development of leaven means controlling
the savour and taste of your products.
By adjusting temperatures, you can easily vary the ratio
between acetic acid and lactic acid, thus playing with
savours and finding what most suits your customers.
▀ Irreproachable hygiene:
Producing natural liquid leaven of equal and even quality
available day after day is good, but not enough.
When we created the first Fermentolevain in 1994, we
immediately integrated notions of cleanability and
hygiene in its development.
The materials used comply with all food-making
requirements: the paddles and scraper in the bowl are, for
example, removable and easy to clean.
Finally, the hand spray option is used to easily clean the
bowl (available on the FL 80 and 140 models).
▀ Simplified management:
Storage cycles are easily monitored using clear and
intuitive control panels.
You can create your own recipe by adjusting temperature,
cycle length and save them in the machine’s memory.
For that, our Fermentolevain machines have a cooling coil
and heating pipe regulate maturing and storage phases.

not require specific tools.
A hand spray, available as option on the FL 80 and FL 140 models, allows easy cleaning of

the tank, paddles and scraper.
There is an opening to add ingredients directly into the tank or through the retractable
