OUR BAKERY
Where Italian craftsmanship meets Amsterdam.
ITALIAN ROOTS.
BAKED IN AMSTERDAM.
Fermento was founded by two Italian pastry chefs who brought years of professional experience to Amsterdam.
Our work is rooted in Italian baking traditions while embracing contemporary techniques, seasonal ingredients and a constant desire to improve.
We don't try to recreate the past, we build on it every day.
WHY FERMENTO?
Fermentation is more than a baking technique. It is a process of transformation. Given time, simple ingredients become something richer, deeper and more complex. The same philosophy guides everything we do.
At Fermento, we believe that the best things cannot be rushed.
Fermento is an artisan bakery built around natural fermentation, careful craftsmanship and the belief that great baking simply takes time: every morning, bread, pastries, cakes, cookies and coffee come together under one roof, prepared in our bakery on Kinkerstraat.
EVERYTHING BEGINS WITH FERMENTATION
Our doughs are mixed, rested and developed slowly to allow flavour, texture and aroma to emerge naturally. Rather than forcing the process, we let time do the work. It's a slower way of baking, but one we believe is worth preserving.
MADE ENTIRELY IN OUR BAKERY
Everything we offer is prepared in-house. Bread is mixed, fermented and baked in our own laboratory.
Croissants are laminated by hand. Cookies are baked from scratch. Seasonal cakes follow the rhythm of the year rather than a fixed menu.
Every product starts with ingredients and craftsmanship, not shortcuts.
GIGETTO
At the heart of Fermento lives Gigetto, our natural sourdough starter. It is refreshed every day and used to produce our sourdough breads and seasonal panettoni.
Like every living culture, it constantly evolves: temperature, flour and humidity all influence its character, making every bake slightly different from the one before.

A BAKERY THAT CHANGES WITH THE SEASONS
We don't believe everything should be available all year. Our menu evolves naturally with the seasons, the ingredients and the rhythm of the bakery. Some products stay, others return only for a short period.
This keeps our work creative and allows every season to have its own character.
