The Day of the Dead is near and, as is customary in Mexico, it arrives filled with color, aromas, and flavors to commemorate loved ones. In this context, the traditional bread of the dead from Sanborns takes on a special meaning as it reminds us of the moments shared with those who are no longer here. With more than 120 years of experience in baking, Sanborns offers us a wide variety of flavors ranging from classic sugar or sesame to innovative proposals such as cheese with blackberry, chocolate chips, chocolate cream, chocolate-hazelnut, walnut, and cajeta, or with cream flavored like cream.
In this festive season, the altars of the dead reflect the enduring love for deceased family members. Each person celebrates in their own way, whether in solitude or in the company of their loved ones, but always with a bread of the dead that occupies a central place on the altar and on the table. Sanborns joins this beautiful tradition by baking its bread of the dead with high-quality ingredients, preserving its essence of orange blossom and its characteristic round shape decorated with little bone-like pieces of bread.
In addition to individual sizes, Sanborns offers bread of the dead for sharing and, for some time now, the version in the shape of the owl characteristic of the brand has also been available, known as the Tecopan Sanborns. This initiative not only allows us to enjoy a delicious treat but also makes us feel proud of our traditions and invites us to share our culture with the world.
Amidst the nostalgia that often accompanies the Day of the Dead, the presence of the bread of the dead connects us with our roots and invites us to fondly remember our loved ones who have passed. Sanborns' proposal, with its careful preparation and wide range of flavors, provides us with the opportunity to relive, year after year, this ancestral celebration that enriches our identity as Mexicans.
