Kia ora koutou,
Our bakery is called Pane Ora, which is a combination of the Italian word Pane (which means bread) and Ora (which means good health in te reo Māori)
Bread for Good Health!
We do this by...Choosing quality 100% organic or spray free flours that encourage good farming practices such as hemp flour and buckwheat flour. We love those crops, when buckwheat is planted, phosphorus that is bound in the soil can be released and it also attracts beneficial insects to the area which is sown, including our old friend the bee, meaning high pollination. The greatest benefit of buckwheat to the end consumer, naturally, is its gluten free status and its ability to be substituted in everyday cooking for those who have sensitivities to wheat or other grains that contain gluten.
Hemp is resistant to many insects and diseases and absorbs nitrogen, encouraging clean and healthy waterways. Choosing health-giving and sustaining ingredients that are high in essential fatty acids omega 3, 6 and 9, fibre, and protein, such as chia or a great source of fibre like psyllium husk, flaxseed, brown rice flour, and tapioca. And most importantly, we make health delicious.
Pane Ora makes no compromises on taste.
Our approach is holistic, we want our customers to choose our bread not just because it's good for the planet and good for our bodies, but because it is all around... gooood. We would be honoured if we could create a positive impact on our planet for our present and future generations.
We are the kaitiaki of our own land and our choices will shape the way towards a more sustainable way of living..... and this would never happen without you and your support.
Thank you for choosing Pane Ora and thank you for giving your body the nourishment it deserves...
