Diego Pagán
Baker at Artesanos San Ramón (Murcia, Spain)
Diego Pagán is a baker and the second-generation leader of Artesanos San Ramón, a family bakery that specialises in artisan bread.
Having been trained from a young age in his father's bakery, Diego has built his career on a foundation of respect for the craft, the raw materials, and the fermentation times that are the cornerstones of quality work.
He combines traditional methods with research into new textures and flavours, focusing particularly on dry bread. In this area, he has developed his own range, which broadens the scope of bread beyond immediate consumption. Inspired by his region, its customs and his gastronomic memory, these creations have helped to establish bread as a key component of the culinary experience.
He advocates a balance between the simplicity of everyday pleasure and the demands of the contemporary palate, while maintaining artisanal consistency as a working principle.
