‘Rumianets’ Bread Plant was opened in 2003, that was the starting point on our way to success. We started from scratch, building our activity on the principles of high quality and full dedication to baking business. Our modern equipment was imported from Austria and Germany, that immediately allowed us to stand out on the market and produce top-quality breads.
We have been baking bread for over 20 years, and one thing is certain – Ukrainians truly love their bread. Some enjoy a slice of rye bread with lard, some prefer croutons, others like toasts or sandwiches. And the list goes on, because we are a nation of bread growers and passionate bread lovers.
Almost every Ukrainian includes bread in their diet, and ‘Rumianets’ bread can fit into nearly any meal. Most importantly, it’s part of a healthy diet as our breads are naturally leavened. Made with sourdough and high-quality ingredients, they rise and develop with the warmth of our hands. Ukrainians eat bread every day, and if you choose ‘Rumianets’, perfection is our standard.
That’s our goal: our bread should be delicious every single day!
