Algatocín is a municipality with only 814 inhabitants, registered in the 2020 census, in the province of Málaga. A town located in the Serranía de Ronda that, beyond its undoubted attractive landscape, culture and history, typical of its entire region, is known among the most demanding palates for having the most expensive bread in the world. A 400-gram loaf that sells for 1,480 euros in the .
The work of Juan Manuel Moreno (not the president of the Junta de Andalucía), who in 2007 barely knew anything about bread, this loaf came to his mind after seeing an article about the most expensive coffee in the world. the baker, who also holds the Guinness record for the largest loaf of bread in the world (9.57 meters and 268 kilos that he had to bake with the help of firefighters).
But going into the most expensive crumbs, their weight is 400 grams, they have ended up in the United Arab Emirates, Russia (with a tip of 500 euros) or Los Angeles. A multinational bread from Spain that, precisely, has only had three national requests: a youtuber, an Arab prince residing in Marseille for a wedding and a retiree “who wanted to try it before he died”.
The gold and silver that accompany the bread are tasteless but provide beneficial properties for the body.
A real luxury that, unlike the famous pizza chain, the secret is not in the dough (although it is made in three formats and with great care) but in the gold and silver. Two ingredients that Juan Manuel introduces in all his famous loaves, since they are tasteless but have beneficial properties for the human body.
In addition, the breads also contain hand-extracted rock salt, organic quinoa flour, chia, oatmeal, dehydrated tomato, toasted malt and hard water from the Algatocín mountain range to achieve a traditional flavor, “that transports you to another era”. Ingredients all that come from different corners of the world to suppose, each loaf, a price for the teacher of 900 euros.
Juan Manuel’s next challenge is to make a bread that will cost 10,000 euros per kilo and will present at Madrid Fusión
Not without suffering a slight impact from the coronavirus crisis, given the loss of fairs where he exhibits his breads, Juan Manuel is already thinking about what will be his new big blow in the oven. A bread that will cost around 10,000 euros per kilo and will be presented at Madrid Fusión at the request of a Chinese client who will “personalize the loaf”.
