The history of our bakery began in 1959 and for more than 55 years has been inextricably linked with the life of Belev and its residents. The Belev bakery produces a wide range of bakery products, confectionery, but the main pride of our production is the real historical Belev pastila.

Belevskaya pastila is a unique product

The recipe for its preparation was compiled by the merchant Amvrosiy Pavlovich Prokhorov at the end of the 19th century and since then has been kept and passed down from generation to generation by several Belev masters.

Belevskaya pastila is made mainly from Antonov apples, egg whites and sugar. Apples are baked in the oven on birch logs, the pulp is separated from the peel and core and rubbed through a sieve. The resulting apple puree is mixed with egg white and sugar, spread on baking sheets in thin layers and dried in the oven for a long time. The resulting layers of pastila are combined into puff "loaves" using the remaining unbaked puree, cut to shape and sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Lenten pastila is prepared without egg white, the production process is more labor-intensive and long, but the result exceeds all expectations.

Diet pastila is prepared from apples and a small amount of egg white, it does not contain sugar or any sugar substitutes.
