Aerzener Brot und Kuchen GmbH

The art of baking and confectionery since 1882

Founded in 1882, Aerzener Brot und Kuchen GmbH produces wholemeal rye breads, speciality breads and crispbreads as well as frozen cakes packaged for self-service purchasing.

 
Responsible product range

Only natural sourdough made by our company is used in our modern bread production. Thanks to a natural pasteurisation process, our breads do not require any preservatives or additives. Our bread range is predominantly vegan and therefore well suited to a plant-based diet. Certified organic since 1995, Aerzener Brot und Kuchen GmbH offers numerous organic varieties in addition to conventional breads. Our frozen cakes are baked using traditional confectionery techniques. Careful production and good ingredients are very important to our family bakery and frozen confectionery – which is why we use Rainforest Alliance certified cocoa. Aerzener Brot und Kuchen GmbH is also a SEDEX member, and promotes ethical and responsible labour practices both within the company and in our supply chain.

 
Company-owned mill

The company owns its own milling operation, allowing for a unique level of quality control. Since 2018, our rye has been freshly milled in Aerzen, just-in-time for processing in production. While conventional flours lose valuable ingredients, our rye meal remains rich in minerals such as potassium, phosphorus and B vitamins.

 
Current product range highlights include:

- Wholemeal rye breads – conventional and organic

- Oat breads with oilseeds

- Protein breads

- Crispbreads – conventional and organic

- Confectioner quality frozen cakes


Investing for the future
