Gardenia Plant Tour

We are indeed frequent buyers of Gardenia bread, so when I learned that it is included in my son’s field trip, I became excited because I wanted to see how they make our favorite bread. I love the plant tour. When I was still in elementary, we visited the Yakult and Coca-Cola Plant, na sobrang nag-igib kami ng Coke using our Coleman. Actually, the Gardenia Plant is one tollgate away from our place, it is so near, but I haven’t visited.

The Plant Tour started with a film showing explaining the brief history of Gardenia Bread and how it is made. We were seated beside the marshall amplifiers at musicians friendshall amplifiers at musicians friend and an LCD TV.

After that, we went to the production area where we could see the whole process from handling, mixing, proofing, baking, slicing, and packaging of the bread. Taking pictures is not allowed.

Our last stop is the bread store, where we can buy Gardenia bread at factory price. You can see classic white bread, healthy-licious bread, flavor-licious bread, a bunch of buns, crunchy-licious toasts, and a snack line.
