The story

Behind the base

Sablé Breton Bakery was founded in 2016 by Alex De Langhe, a trained pastry chef with years of experience in the bakery sector. What started as an idea to produce artisanal tart bases grew into a fully-fledged workshop in Ingelmunster with a dedicated team.

The inspiration? The fruit tart from his former bakery, with its typical shortcrust pastry, rich in butter and with an unmistakable flavor. Ready-made bases of that quality were nowhere to be found. So he decided to make them himself.

Artisanal

End-to-end

Every tart base is produced entirely in-house. From preparing the dough, to rolling it out, baking, and packaging: everything happens in our workshop in Ingelmunster. After baking, the bases are immediately frozen to guarantee freshness. This way, they can be stored for up to 18 months without loss of quality.

This artisanal process distinguishes Sablé Breton Bakery from industrial producers. Baked with love, flash-frozen at the peak of freshness.

From local
bakery to multiple countries.

What started with standard sizes has now expanded into a wide range: 15+ shapes in various sizes, a chocolate variant, butter shortcrust tartelettes, and a ready-made apple pie.

Custom sizes are also available upon industry request. Today, our products are available through bakery wholesalers in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, France, and Italy.

Ready for
the future.

Demand is growing, and we are growing with it. We are currently investing heavily in the operations of our workshop to strengthen our artisanal vision. More capacity, the same quality. This allows us to provide even more professionals with a solid foundation.

Our (taste) philosophy:

Each tart base is artisanally crafted in our workshop. We distinguish ourselves from industrial production and embody authenticity.

  • Artisanal butter
  • Time and care for every product
  • Artisanal production
  • We bake the base, you write the story
