The daily delicacy of the Vallisoletanos, inventors of this luxurious product within everyone's reach.

 Valladolid bread

 Valladolid was the first place in Spain in which there is evidence of the use of the sobadera or roller machine, for its work, that is, its refinement

 Its quality and importance have been known since the 9th century, cited in the Cronicón Albeldense, by Diodoro of Sicilia.

 King Carlos V liked the bread of Valladolid so much that he had it taken from Valladolid to his retirement in the Monastery of Yuste.

 In 1563 the great bankers of the Crown, the Fúcares, paid the master baker D. Francisco Mateo to teach the bakers of Andalusia how to make white bread.

 This bread also settled in French Normandy, after passing through Navarre

 The Bread of Valladolid is a Guarantee Mark, keeping up to date, the main characteristics of production and quality.

 In 2001 the draft project for its Rules of Use was presented to the Junta de Castilla y León, it was the first quality figure for bread developed in Europe.

 After the Bread of Valladolid, other quality figures for bread were presented in our country.

 Types: Candeales: lechuguino, beds, squares and pulley;  semicandeals: fabiola / peaks;  and flame: rustic.

 The lechuguino or stonemason bread is perhaps the most typical of Valladolid, made with wheat flour.  Soft dough, it gets its name from its appearance, with some protruding peaks joining the dough at the top, covered in flour, toasted and crunchy in color.

 But other varieties from different areas of the province also stand out, such as candeal, flama, loaves, or oil cakes, many towns compete to make the best bread in a province that can boast of variety and quality.

 The external differences of the bread of Valladolid are found in the characteristic drawings of each producer, in terms of sensory differences, they are due to the strength of the flour used, as well as to the mechanization and the water content.

 Our most precious asset.
