27 Hours.
Three Stages.
One Loaf.
India's only commercial bakery practising the German Dreistufensauerteig — a 27-hour three-stage fermentation process that reduces phytic acid by up to 95% and maps precisely onto Ayurvedic principles of Agni, Rasa, and Prakriti.
Not all fermentation is equal.
A standard bakery ferments for 8–14 hours. One stage. Phytic acid reduction: 20–40%. Franz & Filo uses three distinct cultures — three distinct cultures — each at precisely controlled temperatures over 27 hours. Phytic acid reduction: 80–95%.
The result is bread with measurably superior mineral bioavailability — and a nutritional profile that aligns with what Ayurveda has described for centuries as Samskara: long, intentional processing that transforms raw ingredients into something the body can fully use.
THE FULL PROCESS →Seven Breads. One Process.
Each bread carries a distinct nutritional and Ayurvedic profile. All seven go through the full 27-hour Dreistufensauerteig. None contain additives, preservatives, or artificial flavour.
The first bread brand built on Rasa-Guna-Virya-Vipaka.
Every bread in the Franz & Filo range has been mapped against the six Ayurvedic tastes, its Virya (thermal energy), and its Dosha influence. The science aligns precisely: 27-hour fermentation reduces Ama-forming anti-nutrients, the lactic acid content stimulates Agni, and the slow-release complex carbohydrates build Ojas.

The only bread in India made the way bread was made before shortcuts existed.
27 hours. Three stages. No additives. A process Charaka described as Samskara — long, intentional transformation that turns raw grain into something the body can fully receive.
