13 thousand of quintals is the quantity of bread wasted every day, and it is precisely starting from this tangible reality that we understood that the time had come to take concrete action to try to limit, if not stop, this waste of bread.
Biova Project is simple in its mission: to transform bread into beer.
If this seems revolutionary to you, however, it must be said that the idea of obtaining beer from stale bread dates back to ancient Egypt, so let's give Ramses what belongs to Ramses, but all of us is certainly the commitment to revive an ancient recipe in key modern saving on the waste of energy and raw material: in fact the bread to produce Biova Beer is recovered from the unsold items of supermarkets and bakeries.
From a production point of view, the use of bread replaces an important part of the barley malt normally used and gives the beer a slightly savory, thirst-quenching and unique flavor: if you think that any type of bread can be transformed into beer, here is that we will have a different, new and unrepeatable taste each time, able to evoke regional scents and traditions.
The project then finds its concreteness in the synergy between all the protagonists involved: the bakeries and supermarkets donate their unsold bread, we take care of the collection and take it to the breweries who will transform it into beer. The circle closes when the beer produced is distributed by precisely those bakeries and supermarkets that have donated their bread.
Biova Project is proving to be a good bet but to make it successful it is necessary for the movement to grow more and more. What are you waiting for?
