Customer Highlight: Forte Grove Bakery

Life changes led to creation of Forte Grove artisan bread.

From early morning to late at night, artisan bread maker Kathleen Forte Cooper is on the move.

Lifting 50-pound bags of flour, mixing giant batches of dough, kneading and shaping dough, putting loaves in the imported, steam-injected oven and taking baked bread out.

It's hands on every step of the way. That, Cooper said, is what makes her Forte Grove bread true artisan bread.

Product Spotlight: Empire Deck Ovens

Save on Fuel, Space and Maintenance!

Empire Deck Ovens offer many benefits over traditional revolving and traveling tray ovens. Like brick ovens, they bake so well because of their ability to retain heat. Even when the chamber is loaded with bread and the steam is applied, an Empire Deck Oven maintains the desired temperature.

Our secret is in the advanced vapor tube technology that facilitates heat distribution and retention. Vapor tubes deliver heat evenly throughout the product zone, with no fans or moving parts necessary to distribute the heat. This provides consistent quality from front-to-back, side-to-side and deck-to-deck with no damper or airflow adjustments. In addition each deck has it's own self-contained steam generator, so there is no need for a steam boiler.

The major differences are how the heat is distributed to the decks, the type of materials that are used in the construction, and how they generate their steam for the baking process.
