Portuguese hypermarket chain Continente has expanded the bakery offering in its stores, increasing its range of private label bread products.
The retailer says that it is responding to consumer demand, and has created this increased range with exclusive own recipes from bakery experts.
The new range includes traditional Alentejo bread - a 100% wheat bread originating from cereals produced and harvested in the Alentejo region - as well as the Continente 'rustic bread'.
