Meet Basil and Macrina

In 2016, Basil and Macrina began a delightful journey, taking over a well-established European cakes and biscuits business with a legacy spanning over 20 years. With a deep understanding of the craft, they invited expert bakers to join their team, expanding their offerings to include an exquisite range of pies, breads, croissants, and more.
