WE BELIEVE IN TRULY SPECIAL BREAD
WE BELIEVE IN TAKING OUR MISSION FURTHER,
IN CELEBRATING THE FINEST INGREDIENTS, ARTISANAL
PRODUCTION AND AUTHENTIC FLAVOUR.
Gleba means "land suitable for cultivation"
It is a word that reflects our connection to our roots, to cereals, to farmers, and to what grows in our soil. We work with local varieties and the people who grow them, to make bread with character, quality, and respect for the land.
LOCAL CEREALS
Our cereals are grown in local soils, promoting sustainable agriculture and respect for the production chain and the environment.
GRINDING BETWEEN STONE MILLS
Grinding our own flour allows us to use it at the very peak of its quality, full of nutrients and flavour. The result is a rich, wholesome flour.
NATURAL FERMENTATION
Slow fermentation with sourdough starter for around 24 hours, resulting in bread that is easier to digest, more flavourful, and has a longer shelf life.
The result?
Nutritious, healthy and flavourful bread.
We have a modern vision of what the Bakery of the Future should be, and we seek to serve an increasingly discerning and cosmopolitan clientele. The ancestral practices and principles we champion go hand in hand with technology and innovation.
Since 2016, we have challenged and questioned ourselves every day. We are a living, organic brand, where innovation, technology, and creativity unite with craftsmanship, nature, and our roots.
This journey makes us an artisanal bakery that remains true to its principles and consistent in its offerings, driven by the ambition to transform the market and bring excellent quality bread to everyone.
We were born with bread and grew up with everything that makes sense to have around it.
BAKERY
Our doughs are highly hydrated, a demanding choice that requires more time, technique and precision. This full hydration results in a more digestible, light and nutritious bread.
The texture of the crumb is lighter and softer, while the crust is thinner and crispier. We use slow fermentation and natural leaven, respect the maturation times, and proof the bread in wicker baskets handmade by artisans from Barcelos.
PASTRY SHOP
At Gleba, our pastries are born from the same philosophy that has guided us from the beginning: respect for ingredients and a deep commitment to quality. Every creation is thoughtfully conceived.
We value traditional techniques, but always strive for an innovative expression of flavours and an increasing focus on nutrition. We use our stone-ground flours and combine them with carefully selected ingredients. The pastries we make are delicate yet rich.
GROCERY STORE
We started as a bakery, but today we are a brand that also extends to the table with a carefully curated selection of grocery products. A rigorous development process that brings out the best in each raw ingredient for a unique and delicious result.
To achieve this, we have brought together products from partners who, like us, trust in ingredients and respect the processes. Each product is a natural extension of what we believe in. We were born with bread and have grown with everything that makes sense to have around it.
CAFETERIA
The café starts with bread. It is the foundation of everything we serve, designed for different moments of the day, from the simplest to the most complete meals.
From there, we build an offering of sandwiches, specialty drinks, and other accompaniments with selected ingredients from our partners, chosen for the care with which they work and their respect for processes. Each combination is designed to be balanced, tasty, and easy to fit into the pace of everyday life, whether for a short break or to stay at the table longer.
