The requirement that makes us unique

Cal Mossèn’s Coca bread can only be obtained if we set the bar very high. It is the only way to satisfy the most exclusive palates that value our coca. That is why we want to control all the steps: from buying the flour, prepared exclusively for us, to delivering the orders to the kitchens of our customers.
