A story that began in 1960
In Castelfiorentino
Panificio Panchetti came to be in 1960; since then, the wood-fired oven has been the heartbeat of our business, a symbol of continuity and fidelity to the oldest flavours that has transformed the dream of an Empoli bakery into an ever-expanding company.
A little history
Commitment and passion
On 4 June 1960, Lino and Giulia Panchetti opened their first wood-fired bakery at Castelfiorentino, a new start after a period of being farmers: here, assisted by their son Luciano, began the artisan production of bread and baked goods by using, then as now, the same wood-fired oven that’s over a hundred years old.
In 2005, the next generation took up the mantle, with the bakery being passed down to Luciano’s children Andrea and Serena who, in the following years, extended their workforce, opening two more outlets in 2018 and 2023 and expanding through new production lines: the use of certified Tuscan flour, including the Grani Antichi line, a wide array of baked sweetmeats and a state-of-the-art catering service.
Unique and distinctive outlets, open from morning to evening, where you can taste delicacies and spend moments of conviviality and have the chance to meet up.
A dynamic team
Not only is Panchetti synonymous with baking in Empoli, our team is composed of impassioned professionals working together to offer fresh and genuine produce, the fruit of a conscious balance between old methodology and dynamic innovation.
Our commitment to quality is conveyed by the constant selection of ingredients in productive processes that respect the environment and one’s health: we advocate for a healthy lifestyle through our products, which reflect the passion for the taste of long ago and a love for what is good, in all its forms.
Not just bread
We are part and parcel of the local community and incentivise significant collaboration with university and such firms as Pegaso towards getting young people into the world of work, by means of work experience placements, training courses and experience in the field: an inclusive and stimulating backdrop, a social commitment that increases our company’s worth and future plans.
