MORE THAN BREAD. A WAY OF LIFE.
01
At Impasto, the name itself carries deep meaning — "impasto" in Italian refers to the dough, the very heart of bread-making. It symbolises the foundation of our craft and the connection between our heritage and the future of our bakery.
In our family, impasto embodies both our Italian roots and the finesse drawn from the French tradition, creating a bridge between two cultures that share a deep respect for quality and craftsmanship.
For generations, the Villani family has followed a method passed down through trial and error, refined over time. This long, slow process allows the wheat, flour, water, salt, and fermentation to develop their full potential, producing bread with unparalleled structure and flavour.
THE HANDS BEHIND THE BREAD

BREAD THAT SPEAKS
TO THE SOUL

The Villani family method is based on a deep understanding of these ingredients and their interactions. It's a process that values patience and precision, as each ingredient works together to create bread that is not only nourishing but full of character.
Today, this approach continues to evolve. The family still experiments, adjusting techniques and refining the process to improve the bread’s texture and flavor, while staying true to the principles of quality and integrity that have stood the test of time.
EVERY BAKE BEGINS WITH CARE

Each day begins with the same intention, to show what flour and water can do. From hand-moulded loaves to morning pastries and panini made with the freshest ingredients, everything we serve is shaped by time, tradition, and care.
