It’s Friday again. Time for #FoodFriday. As the team already set up camp in Spain twice this winter, we present to you Pan Aceite, a Spanish flavoured bread with tomato sauce topping.

LottoNL-Jumbo nutritionist Marcel Hesseling explains why the team doesn’t use artificial additives, but only raw materials in the most natural and pure form. Not only while making Pan Aceite, but with every dish.

“Our goal is to supply our riders with the best possible quality of food. During our Mojacar training camp, Frank van Eerd of The Bisschopsmolen made a Pan Aceite for lunch. He deliberately uses 100% Kollenberger Spelt , a local product from the southern part of the Dutch province of Limburg.”

Kollenberger Spelt
Van Eerd explains his choice for Kollenberger Spelt flour. “In southern countries they never use flour. Spelt flour naturally holds more proteins than wheat flour. It also has a different gluten composition. Besides that, Kollenberger Spelt is 100% product from South Limburg, our region. We know the farmers personally, which is of course a nice and transparent way of working.”

Kollenberger Spelt is available in the Bisschopsmolen’s webshop.
