JW Marriott Hotel Seoul The Margo Grill, 'Natural Fermented Bread'.

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] The hotel industry is unveiling signature bakery products that blend premium ingredients with the expertise of chefs. In line with the recent trend of prioritizing health, these signature products from various hotels use ingredients free from artificial sweeteners and chemical additives, delivering healthy flavors without compromising uniqueness.

JW Marriott Hotel Seoul has launched its signature bread, the "Natural Fermented Bread," originally served as a pre-meal bread at The Margo Grill, now available for purchase upon customer request. This representative bread from The Margo Grill restaurant, available at Cafe One on the hotel's first floor, is fermented using a natural sourdough starter called "Levain," cultivated at low temperatures with a small amount of fresh yeast. The dough includes seven grains such as rye powder, oats, roasted flaxseeds, and sunflower seeds, and is baked on a stone slab in a large oven, resulting in a mild taste and rich aroma. Unlike most breads that use sugar, butter, and chemical additives, this bread incorporates naturally fermented yeast at low temperatures, allowing you to enjoy the unique mildness of natural fermented bread.

At Sofitel Ambassador Seoul's gourmet cafe Jardin d'Hiver, they offer the "?chir? Butter Croissant," made with ?chir?, a premium French gourmet butter, and the "French Baguette," naturally fermented with Levain using Sofitel Seoul's recipe and matured at low temperatures. The croissant features distinct flaky layers with a crispy exterior and moist interior, while the baguette is made in the traditional French style, delivering rich flavor.
